Computers are like cars. Every now and then, a "lemon" pops up. I think I have one! Two weeks after I purchased this computer the hard drive had to be replaced. This particular electronic mechanism seems to have a mind of it's own. Eerie things happen with odd regularity: Photos become huge or diminish to miniscule dots on the screen. Fonts come and go as if by magic.
Help is always available, however!
I can't tell you how many forty-five minute conversations I've had with people from India who make some remote adjustments which seem to heal the poor sick thing. Also, there is always time to chat while rebooting. One very special lady now follows my blog and comments from time to time! I've also made some contacts with Canadians, who are always friendly and have great expertise in solving computer problems.
One week ago, however, I turned on the computer...BLANK SCREEN. A very nice man from Florida told me the "mother board" needed to be replaced. He even arranged for the computer doctor's house call. The doctor performed the operation this very morning and the patient seems fine...at least for now!
Isn't this new electronic age marvelous?
