BREAK IN TRANSMISSION









Man down, man down!!   

My computer has a virus.  It is now about as functional as Mark Latham, i.e. useless.

I'm sure it's not because Maddie was trying to download copious amount of Ghost Whisperer episodes.  And it's definately not because I downloaded some episodes of the new season Entourage.  No way.

The last time my laptop had a virus, it was an eBay related scam.  

Stupid me didn't cotton on to the fact that the Wii Console and 48 games I was apparently selling was a ruse to have me re-input my password.  Yep, sometimes I am a certified Brain Surgeon.

So lesson learnt.  Now all there is to do is wait and hope it's not going to cost the equivalent of my monthly mortgage repayment to get it back on the road.  So to speak.  Wish me luck.

It's things like this that make me So Very Glad to have a geek for a fiance. Saves me the monies in repairs when I screw things up!

Best of luck in the computer's recovery. I'll hyperventilate for you.

My interwebz was broken over the weekend because eldest son lobbed a football at the router, so I feel your pain! Hope it gets fixed pronto! Txx

had both pc and laptop go down one after the other earlier this year, not fun at all. Several hundred dollars later.....sigh, all better but poorer.

*shudder* Oh, this takes me back to when ours was hijacked. Yes - hijacked! 'They' hijacked my homepage and I couldn't go anywhere else. Bastards. Fortunately, it was over soon. Hope you're back on track ASAP, because the blogging world can't live without your posts, hon. Seriously.

Oh no!! To be computerless, great sadness! Here's hoping you're connected again soon and it doesn't cost you the house. xx
