Diary of a Procrastinator

My PC is near ready to give up the ghost as its memory is barely there. I was just going to head to staples and have them clean it out but now I think might be the time to move up in the world as this guys is like 5 years old.

Laptop or Tablet?

ETA: chatted with Co and decided on an external hard drive as it's less than half the price

I so hate this damn machine right now!! It's effing slow and the thing doesn't want me to have Office 2010!!

I bought and downloaded yesterday and it gave me error messages. I didn't want to deal with it last night so I tried again this morning. Nothing. I called Microsoft and they worked on it for 2 hours and said it should work. I tried and it didn't, though I did get one less error message. I called back again, talked for an hour and we're now seeing if it installs. The guy left a chat window up. ALl this because of Excel.

They removed my previous Office (well Word 2007) so I have no idea what will happen to my stories and transcripts if this doesn't work.

OK, the error message came back! Argh!!!

ETA: 6:00 and they still can't get the damn thing to work!! They say they'll research it and call tomorrow. I'm getting ready to ask for my money back. This will most definitely delay the transcript. I really don't want to start over but I might pick up from somewhere near where I left off and continue in Works. If anyone here is tech savvy and wants to assist, please do!

Just suffered a bit of a virus scare. Of course my software kept saying to correct this problem... But unfortunately part of the problem was the inability to connect to the net. Thankfully I used the system restore from a few days ago and all seems to be well. I'm updating Norton as I type so to prevent another instance of this.

Everyone Keep Alert!
