HAVE FOUND A GREAT COMPANY!! It’s called Dependable IT (http://www.dependableit.com/)
One of their tech people, named Ali, has worked tirelessly for hours to clear my computer of its numerous foibles, for lack of a better word.
Now, let me tell you the most amazing part! I will not be charged unless my computer is fixed! And I have the whole weekend to use it to make sure. (That’s just lucky timing for me, BONUS, and I will TAKE it!!)
At the same time, I now have more reliable internet service, so I expect to be able to get through my Scrabble, Tweets, and emails without waiting, waiting, waiting!
I’ll let you know what happens. I WISH EVERYONE A FINE HOLIDAY WEEKEND!
