What's that button for....

Well 3 hours after Will left on his first business trip on Thursday Tracy was clicking away checking email and working on the blog. I actually was good and when VirusScan came up to update the computer I clicked on it to download whatever new files it was going to give me. It got about 84% done and crashed. So I decided to do a "hard restart" and pushed the "big button." To my dismay, the computer tried to restart only not to restart and gave me this ugly blue screen. I played with the F-12 button a little and it gave me this blue screen and ugly error (Where is a Mac when you need it). All I saw was that the computer was going to do some physical dump of its memory. What the.... Damnit - Will is on the plane and I have no email - its not fair.

I know the first question he'll ask is...
"So what button did you push." I think he is some former relation to my Dad or are all guys that way when trying to assess a mechanical situation of which something is broken and they didn't touch it last ... Let me provide additional examples... "What were you doing when you started the car", "What switch did you touch..." My other favorite is when you stand there and know you have restarted and restarted whatever aforementioned mechanical thing and either A. Whew, thank goodness it still doesn't work for him either. or B. It starts/works right away and you stand there baffled and try to explain to your significant other that you swore it wasn't working before. This has to have been documented sometime in history before.

Anyway...it is now Saturday afternoon and Will is home and has spent 3-4 hours putting a "new image" on the home computer (whatever that means - its bad don't worry) and it is still not done yet. So I'm typing away on his fancy schmancy new work computer waiting for my precious computer to get fixed. This was supposed to be a *brief* blog to explain where I have been and that we are both still alive, but this is what happens when 3 days of pent up typing come out.
