Computer Problems!!!

Hey All,


 Well, as they say, timing is everything and in this case it's lousy timing because my co-cl is away and I'm not yet back home with access to my home computer!


 We're having some major computer problems on this end and so reading/responding to posts may or may not be impossible until I get back home (first week of Sept.). I've alerted Cindi to the situation and so if you don't see me for a day or two, and any issues arise, please feel free to email Cindi!


 I don't know if any of you are computer techies but we certainly aren't on this end! This is an OLD computer....and it has been rebuilt and reformatted several times. We woke up this morning and it signed on and it sounds like the hard drive may be going...it's actually making this muted sound that sounds like a combination of whirring and groaning...almost like a low idling hum of a motor. All I know is, it's not normal and when I did get on the graphics are all faded, the screen fades in and out and I can't access my email right now but will try again later!


 Please stay safe and continue to do the wonderful job that you do in supporting each other! Hugs and I'll try to check back in later, Lori

Lori,

Just an idea- in the US, most libraries have free internet access. I don't know how it works in Canada but they may too. It does sound like the computer is worn out.
