Severe flaw in Windows, being exploited ruthlessly, so try to use Firefox if you have it, and don't open links in e-mails, etc. etc. etc...

Time to call the little brother computer geek and ask him to help me change my operating system.

I'd just spent fifteen minutes trying to put all the suggested books people gave me into a table so I could sort them into order and share and the stupid program decided to eat the file.

*feh*

I've been having internet issues for days and finally gave up and called tech support. Now everything is all shiny again.

Okay computer types out there... Why would my clipboard suddenly refuse to copy from Internet Explorer to Word? And occasionally vice versa?

It's getting very annoying!

I just lost an hour's worth of typing and revising on the next part of Bergil's story because Microsoft works decided to crap out on me just as I was moving the mouse up to the "save" icon.

Dirty words, foul and unspeakable language!

Ggggrrr.... Let's see how far I can get before midnight, then...

Does anyone know the super secret password that lets you get a yahooid so you can join a yahoo group.

I've filled out the form 23 times today. It keeps saying it can't process it right now and come back later.

My work computer has got a bad case of adware and popups. Everytime systems cleans it out, it gets worse. They've finally gotten so desperate they've given me admin priveleges on my password. Do any of you computer types have a suggestion for a good, legitimate place to download something that will block or wipe these things? (Curiously enough, my home computer hasn't even glimmered with the problems and I got to mostly the same websites.)
