COMPUTER MYSTERIES

First I let Microsoft.com analyze, download and install "Critical Updates" to their XP operating system. It seemed to go successfully but then I couldn't access the internet. Troubleshoot, troubleshoot, reboot, reboot. That took about a Quarter of the NFL New England - Titans game I wanted to watch.

Then I get into this journal and decide to make some changes to the All About Me section. Since past entries go into an older entries file I wanted to add a link to my first entry about the start of the journal. Apparently this is a Big Do Not Touch That; adding the hyperlink, or trying to, made the entire entry some bizarre computer monster that I have been unsuccessful in changing. The entries seemed to lose their boundaries and did not line feed, and it added plus signs between words. (fixed now, see next entry). Help was, in the tradition of Help, unhelpful. If any computer-types wander in and have The Knowledge, please Help. I'm going to watch the last 8 minutes of the game.
