Wish I knew where no man's land is, then if it was close I'd have you help me with my computer. Isn't that nice of me? No, I wouldn't do that to you, Hopper. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't, anyway. Heh-heh!
Oh, man, I went to that CClean site you turned me on to and they put me through the ringer a couple of times. I can't believe they call it freeware when they want your life history and your first born child before they'll give it to you free. I didn't make it past the second "questionaire," one of four sites I had to choose from. None of them were any good, so I picked the "get cash when you need it!" type rip off place.
Their stupid form wouldn't recognize that I'd filled in My Monthly Income slot. What nerve to ask me things like that, but I'd gotten that far, albeit resentfully, and figured I'd play the game, since you said the software was excellent. So when I realized I wasn't going to get the last form completed, I sent them a very nasty email telling them just what I thought of them and their "free" software. Arrrrggggg!
Anyway, being a bit flustered, I dumped a cup of coffee on my keyboard, having set it where I never do--on the shelf above the keyboard. I grabbed it up and set it back on the shelf and toppled it over again onto the keyboard. That didn't do much for my mood, I'll tell you. Luckily, this keyboard is fairly well sealed. I used a can of air to blow out what I could. It's working, so far. You won't believe this, but one of the best geek techs at work helped me get this newer keyboard. I had spilled a cup of coffee on the old one and he told me to rinse it off in the sink, spray it down good and let it dry. I was aghast at the idea, but he's a heck of lot smarter than me. Well, that was the end of that keyboard. He is so smart, but I know now to follow my instincts because he has some goofy ideas as well as fantastic ones. He's very very smart, but not got much social skills.
Now I'm jealous of your system. What a monster it must be! All bulging muscles! Do you game a lot? If so, what games? Mr. Smarty of keyboard fame plays in the Star Wars Galaxy or Universe, I can't remember. But he's regaled me with fascinating tales of his factories that make armour, and how he has to get the raw materials from dangerous places, etc, but sells the armour for a small fortune to other players. Wow, that's wild.
Anyway, I'm just making sure the keyboard worked. I have to dismantle all the cables again and get this cpu to Best Buy. When I was disconnecting everything earlier, I almost burned my wrist and forearm leaning it against the top of the tower. I don't think it should run that hot. I'm going to have the techies check my fans.
Going to miss my friends on the forum, though I haven't heard from Sarge and Grandpa in ages. Like before, have a great week and such. I'll be back to catch up on everything Monday. Now be good!
