Friday

Have spent the entire morning fussing around with computer.  My new laptop came with McAfee anti virus program installed, and the trial period is running out.  I have a license for Norton that is good for three computers, so had to do some reading and researching.  It was already installed on 3 computers, but I remeoved it from the old HP laptop.  Dowloaded Norton to this computer, entered the key, and I guess I now have Norton activated.

I got Barrie a new 4GB memory card for her camera.  Her camera won't accept it, says it is locked.  I tried it in my compact camera, and it says it is the wrong card.

My Canon Rebel also uses an SD card, and it worked perfectly in that camera.  What the heck?  In the past, my SD cards work in both the Rebel and the compact camera. 

Ahhhh! Don't you just love technology?

Barrie's Christmas was jinxed.  The card for her camera won't work, and the book I ordered her didn't come.  When I tried calling about it before Christmas, they were closed for the holidays, so I sent an e-mail.  Got a reply a couple days ago.  They said it shipped separately, and it was on its way.  Date of shipment was 11/29.  Wait a minute!  That was a month ago!  How did they ship it anyway?  By mule train.

So another e-mail this morning questioning them.  Merry, merry Christmas, Barrie!

I ordered a bunch of picture mats for our artist group a couple days ago.  Maybe I got a little carried away, but we never seem to have the right mat for our work.  And our group has plenty of money, so we can afford it.  They will weigh a ton, and Barrie has promised that she will deliver them to the art room at Rendezvous Pointe when they come in.

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
When blondes have more fun, do they know it?

I hear that someone was giving Dolly Parton some guff about dumb blondes. She finally replied "I am neither dumb or blonde".

That is what scares me about getting new equipment, that it will not play nice with the older stuff.

My old Kodak Easy Share (that died a couple months ago) used to have nasty moments when it told me my SD card (that it had always accepted) was locked or wasn't formatted. I just took it out, wiped it & put it back in. It usually accepted it then.
Poor Barrie. Maybe she'll have a super nice New Year's.
