It Happened Like This

My little laptop, a proud friend and faithful companion through Syracuse snowfall and Camp galore, seems to have inherited my stubborn streak. It recently decided to stop letting iPedro connect to it and it denied all use of Flash. Guys, do you know how many websites use flash? Yeah, me neither, but it's a LOT. And it's all the websites I want to look at. Anyways, I suddenly reached my limit this week, and in a fit of righteous anger deleted everything on my computer and re-formatted and re-installed. This would have worked great, except that the version of XP that I have is a few years old, and needs updating badly. My Norton AntiVirus is also about 3 years old, and though the updates I can download are new, it doesn't come ready to fight against 2005's devilry running amok on the internet.

You get the drift. Virus, Virus, Virus in my first 30 seconds connected to the internet. In the course of four days I reformatted and reinstalled computer about 4 times and screamed and cried at my little laptop, willing it to fight against Sasser Virus and Trojan Horses and gloomily watching it succumb every time. I'm back online and will resume all Spanish gossip and stories soon. Thanks for being patient. Ya'll.
