Wow Mari that sucks! I can't believe someone had the nerve to do that! I wear mine on my lap so I don't worry much about it, but I know there are still purse/wallet snatchers in this day and age. Thanks for the heads up!

Hi waves!

Sorry you're having trouble with the new setup, definitely get some blank DVDs and burn your own recovery disk, in fact make TWO, Just in case one gets scratched up or gets corrupted, yes they do get weirded out and become unreadable even if there isn't a scratch on it, I had some cd's from like 2003 that give me errors when trying to access them and they refuse to be read, so I lost a bunch of stuff, nothing irreplacable, but annoying just the same.

Good luck with the downgrade to XP it should be fine once you've gotten the backup DVD burnt.

Hi Barbara,

Glad you're getting out this weekend, have fun at the art fair! Hope the weather holds out for it.

Hi Abbi,

Hope you have a great weekend too, and that your weather holds out for you to have some fun in the sun!

We are going out with Mom today and going to walmart, the library, Wendy's as always, and the pet shop to get Mr. T some feeder guppies. So we've got a full afternoon, doing some thrift store shopping too. Take care everyone and have a great weekend!
