Upgrades and Upgrades

Along with upgrading Wordpress, I’ve gone ahead and upgraded a few other things.  For the past year or so I’ve been faithfully writing on my MacBook.  It’s a wonderful computer, but the small screen became too much for wear.  I’ve upgraded to a huge iMac which should really make a difference.  I’m actually looking forward to writing in the mornings with a big screen.

    Hello Peter,

    Speaking of computers…

    I haven’t been around much because I have had some extraordinary computer issues. This is my third new computer in a series of replacements for the first new computer I bought. I have spent hundreds of hours with HP techs and their executive staff concerning numerous computer failures, which as it turned out, were all cause by bad overheated processors. Never buy an HP computer with an Athelon on Processor. HP upgraded me from an 8300 to a 9200 to solve the problem. I still feel a bit ripped off as I had to suspend working on my book for a couple of months and had to spend hundreds of hours of my time working with HP folks to solve the problem. I really didn’t buy a computer to bring it home so I cold work for several hundred hours as one of HP’s extended staff to diagnose and fix the problem.

    I still have some issues with this computer which they are still trying to solve, but as least the Intel processor isn’t melting down like the Athlon’s processor did.

    If all goes well, I you will see me around here a bit more.

    I am done griping now.

    Regards David
