RIP

My computer is showing its age ... first it somehow resetted the router *whistles softly* and His Hubbiness couldn't get onto the net ... and then it shot my very expensive-thank-you-very-much dualhead Matrox rgaphics card into hell and back again.

It all happened while I was out dog walking in a freaking thunderstorm ... it was raining cats and dogs and I was in the middle of it with three dogs. ANd I lost my black knitted beret. Harumph.

SO when I came back what to do ... I couldn't fix the router until my computer was working and luckily back in 2004 I had purchased a *emergency* gamer graphics card. Oh well .. obviously it all worked out or I wouldn't be writing this. However, now my monitor is changing colours from time to time ... ARGH!! I think I need a new PC.

and why were you out walking the dogs in a thunderstorm? isn't that dangerous??? when we started out walking it was sunny, beautiful white clouds in a deep blue sky and thne from second to the next it was Noah's Flood. :(

ahhah! don't you love crazy weather like that (sometimes)? good thing it wasn't a flash flood or something, at least! how did the dogs like it?

OH Cenour loved it .. the idiot dog even jumped into the pond because he thought the platter of the rain on the water were fishes coming to the surface taking a breather (he loves to watch fishes). Chandini and Emma (Cleo) didn't like the rain too much and Chandini hates thunder.

ahha! silly dogs! Shoji has hardly ever heard thunder, so I wonder how he would respond to it?

I don't think that's your computer's fault... say hello to one of the reasons we should switch our pcs off when there are thunderstorms outside...
Once during a thunderstorm there was a flash and my monitor's colors were all messed up too, luckily that was the worst of it.

But new computer :D sounds nice
