another day, another reboot request

[susandennis]

Yes, the battle with this computer and AVG continues.  I sent off the log again this morning.  I may try to uninstall it (again) and, if successful, give Avast a go.  I might well have my new computer by next week and I haven't decided what do to about anti-virus on it. 

I had a bunch of little mini fire drills this morning caused by this weekend's outage.  All under control now.

I lied to my CPA.  Not a huge lie and, likely one that will come back to haunt me.  And I know I should fix it but I also know I'm not going to.  Who's keeping that big ol' list of Susan Dennis Character Flaws?  I need to make an add.

The new monitor should arrive today.

I think it's a good day for General Tso's Chicken.  Wonder if the deli is open?  Guess we'll see about 11:45 ish.

My neighbors across the hall got divorce about 10 years ago.  This morning, when I went to take the CPA the new stuff - about 9:15 - he came out of what is now her unit. (The word on the street - well, Sherry and Lee, actually - is that they split cause he wanted to get into S&M and she didn't like the idea.) He's sporting a (not temporary looking) eye patch and his mouth is kind of half slacked like he had a stroke.  We chatted.  I didn't ask.  He's a strange dude.  He used to own a restaurant here in town and then managed several.  This morning he had on a QFC (grocery store chain) vest with a label that said Wine Expert.  

I am a gossip monger.

Oh and thanks to countess_shell and melodysk, I have learned that Hugh has discretely not dragged my name into his split with that trashy bitch.  What a guy.

Monitor? Which one? I'm ready to retire my plumbing experiment and replace it and the monitor.

Oh I don't think you want this one. This will be the second half of my dual monitor deal for the new system. So more than price or how the screen looks, I wanted it to match the first half and I wanted USB ports and I wanted the integrated (not exactly but attached so it still frees up desk real estate) speakers.

So you'll have two of these? That's a lot of space for reasonable outlay. They do a quad mount too... :D

[susandennis]

Yup... quad mount. You bite (or rather byte) your tongue. I can't even justify 2! Now if you ever see a quad mount for the laptop that I could use on my actual lap... that would hold some serious interest. But I can't use Vista on my laptop yet. Oh well, one day. Meanwhile I'm calling my dual monitor installation a practice run for one day... quad mount oooooooooo ver the top!

I have Avast. I like it.
And I'm looking forward to seeing your new monitor.
How's the DS?

You know, the jury is out on the DS. I'm waiting for more games to try. If all I had was the Brain Age one that I bought with it, I'd have to give it a thumbs down. But, stay tuned.

Glad to hear you like Avast. Thanks.

Character flaws are what make life interesting. :)
