As some people here already know, we are blessed with a computer "tweeker". the guy happens to love camels, ships that slip through the night, and young women.
About a month and a half ago i contacted the fellow, complaining about my lack of satisfaction with McAfee and their internet virus blockers. I had re-ordered, much like I had done before a couple of years ago, but I could not get it to boot up on my computer...I sent emails to them, called them, all to no avail. So I went to Rocky, and he suggested a couple of alternatives, none of which could I get to work. I eventually got a 30 Day Free Trial of AVG, which ended yesterday.
Fortunately, our camel loving friend got back, and told me to "come on up" so he cold "tweek" it...
Friends, all I can say is that my piece of crap, 5 year old Dell was on its last legs, slower than molasses in March. the Doctor was gentle with me, and suggested that i wait in the parlor....
A few ticks later I was asked by one of his nurses to "go see the doctor" and I feared for the worst...but the smile on his face was encouraging, and he said he just wanted me to see how messed up the thing was. "Go back to your book," he said.
In what seemed to be moments, I was called back, shown how to do a few thing and the about-to-be-chucked-Dell is now cavorting like a young colt...faster than when new, protected against the baddies, oh so comfortable to use.
So, Thanks Marc, you are truly a good friend. I am grinnin' like a big goof right now, and want you to know that you are the cause.
Very much in your debt.
