A few days ago I got up in the morning was surprised to find the computer turned off.  I turned on the computer and went to make myself a cup of tea while it was booting up.  Well, I ended up doing two or three other things before I got to my computer.  When I got back to it, I discovered that it hadn’t booted up yet!  So I tried again, and went and fed and dressed the baby.  To make a long story short, somehow my computer had crashed.  So I took it to the local computer repair shop.  Later in the day they called me to tell me that the mother board was fried, and they recommended that I just buy a new computer, since this one was so old.  Thank goodness I have always had a great backup procedure, and had done a complete backup just the night before when I went to bed!

So I trotted down to the computer store and purchased a new computer, complete with all the bells and whistles.  Its bigger, better, faster than my old one.  I even bought a new wireless mouse because everybody raves about them.  It’s taken a few days to get all of my software and data transferred in between everything else that I have to do every day.  So far it’s working fine.  One thing nice about this new computer is that it is faster than the old one.  I’ve only had it a couple of days, but it really works well!
