Gah!

I thought having an unstable, or non working computer was annoying. The semi stability may be just as bad. I'd had the old computer, and the version of Office, and Firefox installed for years. Over that time between the agency, ebooks, message boards, mailing lists and the like I've imputed a couple thousand words, names, and such into their spell checkers. Now I spend half my time writing checking to see if something I've been using since Clinton was president is really spelled right.

Poor O'Mike. I hate computer problems. What seems to be causing the instability now?

more driver issues.

I've been keeping track of the error messages. When i get the current workload pruned back a bit the desktop is going to a different computer shop than the last time.

So does that mean you've lost 'stuff'? I'm just curious because I've been patiently waiting and not being annoying :)

Or is it simply the change over?

No submissions lost, just time. What month did you submit?

[makoiyi.livejournal.com]

May, which isn't that long ago but I always found you 'quick' before, that's the only reason I was wondering.

I've started in on May, hopefully by the time i get home from Conjecture you'll hear from me. Are you going to be there?

Sorry, had a horse crisis :( No, I am going to World Fantasy though. I'll look forward to your reply.

While you are waiting for your computer to reboot...
