Baloo, curmudgeon in chief, wanted me to let everyone know that his PC died around Christmas time and unfortunately Santa didn’t bring him a new one. He’s been absent for a while and were trying to remedy the problem asap, So he’ll be back soon we hope! Peace to all!
Nuts
I have to feel for you. My harddisk crapped out the week before. I found one in a discarded non-working computer behind the apartment building. It took every debt called in from my techie friends to get it installed, and locate all the software originals and reload them, but I’m back on the air at no cash outlay. Made me feel a lot of self-pity all week, though, I can tell you that.
Pink – Thanks for the sympathetic noises. I don’t know how long it will take me to arrange for a new (or functioning used) computer. I hope it isn’t overlong).
And now, a correction (or is it a disclaimer?):
The majority of the information given above by Nuts is correct (I’m posting this from work). However, Nuts, I am not “Curmudgeon-in-Chief” here, but at another message board. Here I’m just plain, old, Baloo.
Having said that, I will intermittently be monitoring this thread for sympathy, useful (and useless) advice, nonsequitors, and the inevitable sex-related hijack.
Carry on.

P.S.: Nuts is my nephew/brother (my sister’s son, nine years my junior, who came to live with us when his mother passed away when he was five).
