Please stand by...
We are experiencing technical difficulties!! - ;((
The internal "fan" on my computer had been making noise -
And I had asked a friend to see if he could find a replacement fan to fix it - ;))
No luck - ;((
And BOB thought -
It figures -
Why would the computer company make replacement parts -
When they can force you to buy a whole new computer instead? - :))
So anyway -
I got a desktop external fan to put underneath the laptop -
But it was just a matter of time before the internal fan decided to quit on me -
And Sunday morning - it decided - ;((
BIG ERROR MESSAGE -
It flashed on and off the screen too fast to write it down -
But the general gist of it was -
Computer detected defective internal fan and will shut down in 15 seconds -
And it did - ;((
SOOOO -
I dug out my old laptop -
And have been trying to get it back up and running - ;))
Sunday I wasn't in the mood to deal with it - AT ALL -
And my tech support (husband) isn't available anymore -
So I played with it on Monday - ;))
I plugged it in - it took FOREVER to charge back up -
And I finally managed to get on the internet yesterday afternoon -
Checked my gmail - and a couple of blogs -
Then called it a day - ;))
This morning it took me over an hour and a half to get the printer installed - ;))
I thought I would try to put up a quick post to check-in -
And then I'm going to call it a day - again - ;))
This was NOT what I had planned for this week - ;((
All of this computer stuff makes my head hurt -
And now I have to consider whether or not I want to get a NEW computer -
And RE-LEARN a NEW one AGAIN - for the umpteenth time - UGH!!! -
With or without Windows 10 - with or without a touch screen - ;))
Seems you can't do anything without being ONLINE -
So I guess I'll have to bite the bullet -
But BOB hates being FORCED to get a new computer -
When it would have been SO easy -
To just replace the "fan" -
If they bothered to make one - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Ugh! the fan is usually made as a part of the processor so you would have a major upgrade- and laptops are typically all made on a single board too. I wish you were close so I could have a look at it.
Thanks, Gene - I wish you were close, too!! BOB is thinking she may go back to paper and pencil for the important stuff and leave the computer for "surfing" and "blogging" only - ;))
I feel your pain, my laptop was rushed to ICU and promptly wound up in the morg half an hour later :( Now Im using a new laptop with Windows 10 and grumbling everytime I want to do something, why unearth they have to change things is beyond me :(
Thanks - I'm back to my old laptop and it doesn't have all of the programs on it that my newer one has/had. I don't really want to reload them all on this old one if I'm going to have to load them again on a newer one - so I'm grumbling right along with you every time I want to do something. And I still haven't decided if I want to go with Windows 10 or find a new computer with Windows 7 - I LIKE Windows 7 - ;))
