Family and tech problems do not go together well! Every time I visit my parents, fixing the latest audio-visual, computer or telephonic problem is one of my little crosses!Brother Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780326836452864455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-65579502294873849702006-12-11T17:12:00.000-05:002006-12-11T17:12:00.000-05:00Oh, man Friar...

On Christmas Eve, my four year-old son was trying to do something with an old Windows 3.1 game on our XP system, and the whole thing got hosed up somehow. Either that, or there was a virus cleanup that I did that crushed a critical DLL file on the system, which killed it on the next startup. I spent a good part of the week after Christmas and a wee bit of money re-installing Windows XP from scratch and finding all of the right drivers to make everything work again. It wasn't my idea of quality time at home with the family. Not fun at all. Lost a lot of stuff.<br /><br />I feel for you. Maybe it's time to enjoy one of those most famous of Franciscan dictums, at least temporarily:<br /><br />Simplicity.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754406706300818849noreply@blogger.com
