OK, I lost my phone on January 1. This was my first smart phone, which would allow me to communicate with the internet. I get back home, and my home computer has a jacked up weirdness that will not allow me to connect to the majority of the internett. My Dell 1700 is issuing a non-bootable error. My ASUS netbook cannot hold a charge.

I’ve tracked down my elderly aunt’s iBook and can generally connect to the internet.

So, this is my 5th backup unit. My new ASUS netbook will arrive in 2 days, and hopefully restoration of the usual environment will succeed!

So, can you beat that?
