I had a lovely laptop that made me happy everyday. I could get up and check my email,facebook friends, and generally do whatever I wanted to do whenever I wanted to do it, if I wasn't working or doing those things we must all do in our lives like Housecleaning, cooking, or taking care of our families and their needs. One Saturday morning February 27 to be exact. I turned on my computer with the intention of checking emails and then getting off to do housecleaning. Then I couldnt get online at all with out my computer tryng to do a virsus scan from a program that I didnt have on my computer. Whenever I checked into it the program wanted me to pay for the new program. I followed my gut reaction and didnt buy it. Good thing I didnt because I found out it was a virsus and it would have taken my money and information and given me nothing in return. Now this happen the day before I was called to be primary president in our branch. I proceeded to take my laptop to a person who knows enough about computers to have him try and remove virsus come to find out it is a virus that very few people know much about but it will take over and it goes in so deep that you can't even find where it started. The advice given is to just buy new computer. I dont have the money for that right now. So he loans me an extra computer he has. I get it home hooked all up and then after having it about 3 weeks I turn it on one morning and it wont work. It starts running a scan I know from previous experience this is NOT good. I call and he says sounds like a virus again. Needless to say I am at library on the computer any extra time I have. He has the tower so he can clean it up and I can use it again.
Two things I have learned from this issue is that I need a computer at home so I can do and visit sites I need to for work and church anytime I can. The second thing I realize is that I don't have free time when library is opened. So I have to learn to reorganize my time. I also have to have an agenda when I come to library to use computers because they have an 1 hour limit unless no one wants to use computers. I have been lucky so far. I have been able to be on one for the time I need. So if you email me and I dont respond quickly don't take it personally cause I am coming whenever I can. Amazing how much we use technology in our lives these days.:) Talk about withdrawals of the technological proportions. You never really realize how much you use them for. My suggestion now is to put all pictures, family history, and any other things you dont want to lose on a a memory stick so when the computer monsters want what you have you wont be crying because they got your precious memories or hard work.
