Have to call the power company to tell them we have no power.<br />I never had a party line. I think they did away with them about the time I was born. But, Honeyman remembers having one and he is only 2 years older than me.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051904118383493849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-562073528859409256.post-87133742584490564442014-09-19T08:32:57.197-05:002014-09-19T08:32:57.197-05:00Dawn, my husband still uses IE.

Don't ask me why.<br />I hope your hard drive can be recovered! As someone who has her manuscript stored on her hard drive, I can relate! I have it backed up in Google Drive and on a thumb drive, though, so there's that. Good luck!Dawn@Lighten Up!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06301481567651330133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-562073528859409256.post-8826167458435788842014-09-16T23:17:57.188-05:002014-09-16T23:17:57.188-05:00Oh Ruth, that really sucks.

My other computer was on it's last legs. Prone to overheating, so we kept the door of the desk open for the tower.

I used to think that computers came with an internal clock that ticked backwards until dooms day or at least until it died that way you have to go back and get a new one. I agree on the comment above. My computer is having a terrible time with buffering videos and I think it's because everything now is up to like 6G's. :/ Gossip_Grlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603645371306284338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-562073528859409256.post-88176257319104841262014-09-16T11:56:17.123-05:002014-09-16T11:56:17.123-05:00Luckily my computer was from 2000, not the 90s. ;)...Luckily my computer was from 2000, not the 90s. ;)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051904118383493849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-562073528859409256.post-9641122568542119352014-09-16T08:53:54.825-05:002014-09-16T08:53:54.825-05:0090s was a terrible place for keeping up with the t...90s was a terrible place for keeping up with the tech standard. Things could double or triple in speed/memory ever year. It wasn't that long ago when a 1GB HD was considered a lot of memory.
