Unplugged

So, I'm not really a technical genius. I am a genius in so many other ways, though, that there must be one area in which I do not exude brilliance, or people would get jealous. Hope you know I'm kidding and that I love sarcasm.

We're having some computer issues, over here in Candline-ville, so if you have suggestions, please LEAVE A COMMENT!!!

Our desktop is ill. It makes a funny noise every now and then. Not when you're using it, just when you're across the room doing something else - it will make that loud noise that computers make when you try to save something with the wrong "last three letters behind the dot." See how brilliant I am??

Then, it started telling us, "unable to display that video mode." So, we would turn it off and come back the next day.

Then the screen went all pink and stripey. You guessed it. Turned it off and came back the next day.

The next day, the screen went all red. Nothing but red.

The day after that...smoke came out of the monitor. I do realize that the monitor is dead.

The computer is in the hospital. The tech dude says the computer is fine...that the video card is okay and that it didn't kill the monitor. I don't beleive him. I have a feeling that if we bring the computer home, and happily replace the monitor, the computer will assassinate the new monitor...it may even become a serial monitor killer. Okay techie people - feel free to jump right in here with opinions galore!!

Our computer is not new. Matt wasn't even one when we got it.

We know that we need to face the inevitable question - should we replace it with a new PC or...get a Mac?? More opinions please.

So, this is the reason for the lack of blogging lately. Hang in there...and if you're at all technically intelligent, leave me some advice.
