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*
