Computer humming along...

Adrienne has a chat with her computer...
My wonderful computer guru was here to clean up the old beast and it's running like a spring chick - and my new Logitech mouse, with a functioning wheel, is better than sex (almost ). However, somehow my Adobe Flash player disappeared. I remember having a nightmare of a time installing a flash player with Firefox many years ago. Nothing has changed!

I know, I know - all you techie types are ROFLAO at my inability to solve my little problem. I've spent several hours reading all the help sites, tweaking every system that can be tweaked, pleading with Adobe, and lighting candles to the computer gods - all to no avail. Videos will not play. Period.

I shall overcome my embarrassment at being "technologically challenged" and email my guru who will, no doubt, fix the problem with a few little simple instructions. Want to know the best thing about my guru?? He never, ever laughs at me - at least to my face.

I'm going to go to the store and buy a couple of new toilet seats to soothe my soul (no jokes, please!)

That was a funny one, Adrienne. You know what? You are still more computer savvy than me. Susan

Really, I understand. Firefox and some applications just don't work well together.

Adrienne, I do feel your pain. When things go wrong with my computer, it sometimes takes me a long time to fix them. My son has told me about the best tech support website - Google. That's how he fixes some of his problems, but sometimes I'm a bit apprehensive about trying the fixes.

Okay when I read this at ACC I was able to resist...... But now you've brought it up TWICE so I just have to ask

Is that really where your soul resides???
