I've been off for several days. This is because we woke up Monday morning and discovered we couldn't turn on our computer. We just got error messages from Norton Anti-Virus. After making a few phone calls Mom determined that
1) We very likely had a virus
and
2) We couldn't take it in to a tech. We discovered something Dad never told us: we have-
-dun dun dun-
-an illegal operating system.
So no tech will touch it.
Thanks, Dad.
But with some extra help from the Shaw guy, we fixed it! I don't have the slightest idea how, but it works okay now.
P.S. To Frank - MY BOOK FINALLY CAME!! (Yesterday - I'm almost done!) *glomp*

Oh, and I still need your new phone number... um.. you know... in case I'm ever in Canada and get mugged or something and have no money and am bleeding or something and don't know the number for emergency services and then I can call collect and ask you guys to call an ambulance or something...
um.. yeah. that's why.
