Holy cow, another disaster!
Yep, we got bit. Fortunately, it was one of those
times when I decided to post ahead. Last week’s post was already posted and
scheduled before disaster struck. I posted early due my plan to attend a local
model railroad show. Boy was I glad I did so. The only thing was, I had placed
the newest railcars on the layout without reporting marks. If you recall, I
mentioned this last post. After the disaster occurred, I realized I still
needed to do this. I tried not to remonstrate myself too much and worked on the
problem as best I could. The problem, in fact was the failure of my personal
computer. No booting, no nothing. I took it to a local vendor of electronics.
They were nice enough to get an initial prognosis. Same thing. No booting, no
nothing. There was power and the screen kept coming back to the “choose last
good configuration setting”. That was all it did. Dead in the water I was. Well,
the upshot was, it was time to buy a new processor. Oh what fun! The thing came
with a new key board and mouse. Our friendly manufacturers always change the
connecting hardware it seems. So, no use of old peripheral with the exception
of the monitor. (But give this time as well. }:>) The bright spot in all
this was that I had a major backup of all files. The only exception to this was
that I had to grab the last two blog posts off of my “carry” jump drive. If I
had not done this, I would have probably voluntarily committed my self to
Belleview*. Anyway, I worked and worked
and got almost everything sorted out, with one exception. (Enough exceptions,
already.) My camera transfer software had to be downloaded from the web. No web
at my home. This may be changing soon. I did get to transfer pics with the new
processor. Another win for the omscaler. Planning to win some more, omscaler
