Ah, another invigorating weekend. OK, not really, just more of the same; beat all the ice off the deck - 45 minutes of stress relief, fill the wood rack on the deck, work around the house, meet a pet-sitting customer to get the keys, perform computer maintenance (virus definition and Windows updates etc.), do the Sunday crossword puzzle, send some emails and watch football.
I took reciept of an old decrepit computer from a friend of mine. I haven't had a chance to look at it (too busy with the stuff mentioned above), but I think it is a 486 and probably has Win95 (or possibly 3.1) on it. I'll see what I can destroy on it, and if I don't manage to destroy it, I'll try to upgrade it a bit and maybe get my other half to use it. My wonderful spouse is very computerphobic . He doesn't even know how to turn on a computer and doesn't want to know. Sometimes the love of my life will want to play Mah Jong, so I have to turn on the computer and bring up the game. How someone can be so paranoid that they will totally ruin a computer is beyond me, but that is his excuse for not learning. However, he is more than happy that I can get plane tickets, make hotel reservations and reserve a rental car on-line (not to mention that special calculator that he needed for work, but couldn't find anywhere). Anyway, if I have a computer that I don't keep work and school stuff on, then my loving spouse won't have as good an excuse for not learning to use one. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect him to become an expert - however, it would be nice if he were at least computer literate.
