I mentioned the other day that we were having some issues with our computer. We originally thought we had a virus and that may well be the case but one thing is for sure. It’s not getting any better. Everyday it seems to do less than what it did the day before. Now it locks up when we use our email or try to open a picture. You’ll notice that there are no pictures in this blog. When you ask it to do most things it just locks up. All it will do now is play solitaire and get on the net.

So yesterday was “we gotta do something” day. Initially we couldn’t find anybody in the park that understood computers at all. I can understand that because computers are one thing I have no understanding about. If, when I turn it on it works, I’m happy. If it doesn’t work I’m not happy and don’t understand.

So no one knew anyone in the park who could help, it was Sunday so repair places were not open and even if they were there is that same old issue: Language. We even went downtown and priced out new laptops. We can’t speak Spanish, issues like this become very difficult. We put our problem to the email forum for folks here at Paamul. Two hours later, we checked our mail, and  there were 5 or 6 different offers of assistance. All in english. Mar has an appointment at 9am for her and our lap top. She is meeting a gentleman who is “MicroSoft Certified” and familiar with both hardware and software problems. Let’s hope it all works out
