Computer Headaches

One of the frustrating things in modern
life is called a computer. When it works
it is wonderful...when it doesn't, the thoughts
of computer homicide comes to mind.

My computer has decided to freeze up.
Many, many, many times per day.
I can walk away, (mostly for the sake of
the machine, as patience isn't one of my
virtues) and the other to give it time to
correct itself. Which happens occasionally.

So thoughts of crashing and loosing every
thing has had me in the past few days of
downloading and saving on disk what I
consider important. Like pictures and
my documents. Then there is a few other
folders that I have saved.

And because I am in the first grade of
computer land, I don't know how to save
other things. And I don't know how to
do a save thing for the whole computer
in case it decides to shit the bed. Not a
nice comparison, but it is an old saying
that comes to mind.

With some of the things refusing to
download as the folder is too big, I
have found that there is a heck of a
lot of stuff on this machine that I don't
have a clue what it is. But, no, I am not
going to erase those. I found out that erasing
can get you into trouble. As you might think
you are erasing something, only to find out
after the fact, that it was connect to many
other things, that you did not want erased.

I have taken to opening some, only to go places
I have not a clue...like of like Alice in Wonderland.
So I erased pictures that aren't important to me.
I have erased documents it would be nice to have
but not that much to print out. And I have printed
out a few that were really important. So was able
to download the pictures on to 3 different disk.
Removing from a folder and making another folder
for another year, and after, putting it back in the
original folder.

It comes to mind that we save more stuff on
computers than we do in file cabinets. And I
thought that was bad.

Now if my computer decided to crash, I will
not be happy, but I won't use a sledge hammer
on it, as I know I have saved the important
things.

Now if I only knew how to keep the dang thing
from freezing, where I have to unplug it to get it
to work again... I would have it made.

I did go on line to have a free download. But it
only corrected 115 problems and told me I had
289 of them left, BUT that would take money to
fix. I will have to think that one over . So if I disappear,
have no fear... my machine crashed.
