Marah's Journal

Okay, as far as my computer.  I finally called last night at closing time.  They said the wifi connection on the motherboard was bad.  Excuse me?  I didnt' even know it had one!  So anyway, I tried to explain to the technician that that wasn't even a problem.  And he kind of hemmed and hawed and said that well perhaps the motherboard was actually all bad and I should just go to their website and pick out a refurbished computer to buy (because it will cost 500 dollars to replace the motherboard).  I looked there and saw nothing as good as what I have, when it is working that is.  I finally got ahold of my husband who was of course out of town.  He said I should just pick out one the refurbished ones and have done with it.  He is the one with the money, so I didnt' really see any other choice.  I was so upset last night, I stayed up till midnight crying.  My eyes are still puffy this afternoon.  I did go back to talk in person with the tech, I took my oldest son with me because he speaks computer and I don't.  After talking with the tech, he thinks it may be just a software issue.  And my hard drive is officially empty at this point.  so they are going to try to load the system software fresh and see what happens. He said that will take 2-4 business days, which probably means 5-6.  idk.  I dont' dare even hope that this will work.  And we will be going on a family vacation tomorrow afternoon, so I don't even know if I will know anything before we leave.  I really don't want to spend my vacation crying and worrying about this, but there you are.
