Thanks to all the folks who offered advice and moral support during my time without a properly-functioning computer. My old laptop computer, which I have been using to deliver the material posted on this blog as well as the device to maintain this blog, is nearly dead. My hard drive is about to fail and something on my system in Windows seems to be corrupted. The problems on the old computer became worse and I decided to reformat the computer. After I reformatted the computer, the computer would not boot. To make a long story short, I had to buy a new laptop computer as I ran out of hope and patience for the old computer. As expected, my new computer has a bigger hard drive, more memory, and faster processing power. I was lucky to find a good deal. Hopefully, my new computer will last as long or longer than my old computer. Yes, it is a PC, but it has the Windows 7 Home Edition (woo hoo)! This is, by the way, the first post here in the Closet using my new computer. (My first real blog post on my new computer is over at my other blog, A Basement of Curiosities. Sorry.)
I am also letting you all know that I have opened up a Facebook account. I registered on Facebook some months ago. I had plans for it, but I was distracted and forgot about it. I decided to give it another go. I may or may not have plans for it, but now you have an opportunity to be my friend and for me to be friends with you. You will have to register on Facebook to do this. Then look up "Grey Calx" to find me.
Now, I have a working PC, the Closet once again is "back on the air." Now I have some posts to take care of. Talk to you soon and best wishes.
Excellent news on the return of BOTH your blogs. Just smack me upside the head though for not realizing you have TWO blogs going. I've been in the basement, but I now see that the closet holds just as many treasures. In my defense...I'm extremely new to this blog thing. How can that be you ask...?
ReplyDeleteThe combination of running a painfully slow, antiquated PC and my paranoia of downloading ANYTHING kept me from exploring the blog environment. In the end, however, I had the exact same issue as you and my PC had to be put out of it's misery. There was no saving it. So score another point for the folks who create these worms/virus/hacks....whatever the latest term is. Another powerless computer is destroyed while the massive frankenstein computer godz are left intact. But I digress....
May your new computer remain virus free and supply us all with a bounty of enjoyable posts for years to come.

Yeah, I love both of your blogs. Wouldn't want to have to choose a favorite between the two, but let's just say I get a real kick out of Basement. :)
