Hi,

I futzed with turning the computer off and on various ways.
I got it to come up in "safe mode."

I'm trying to back up stuff by sending stuff to email because I can't use an eternal device in safe mode. But I am tired and only got so much emailed.

Maybe later today after sleeping I can try to turn it off and then on again so I will be able connect to a USB or a use something else that apple has. If I am in the mood I could call Apple (with a charge) to ask about that apple service.

Kay:
You remind me that I need a new key board. The keys have not been the same since I spilled watermelon on it a while ago.
