Fighting for the right of every child, woman and man to speak what is on

our minds and in our hearts is worth the price we sometimes have to pay!

An off-subject post.

Several months ago I purchased a new, relatively state of the art, computer. Unfortunately, it came with Windows Vista Home Premium installed. But I use(d) it none the less. And it’s actually been working pretty good.

As with other Windows systems I’ve had, I had set the system to automatically check for and install updates. Never, ever had problems with this. So I did the same with this Vista installation.

Again, it was working fine, until this week, when the system downloaded and installed Vista SP 1! Not thinking I followed the instructions to restart the computer. And that was last I saw of my computer! The computer would no longer boot up, except to a message which gave me several options: Boot in safe mood, restart normally, etc., none of which worked!

And of course the old; use the install disc that came with your system to ‘repair’! Which ain’t worked neither!!

So here I sit with an expensive door stop!!

Again – Thank You Mr. Gates and Microsoft! And Lenovo!

Written on my old computer – luckily I didn’t toss it!

Forgot to mention – the computer is a Lenovo 3000 K series and as of this date, Lenovo has not answered my snail mail. Live and learn that ‘Customer Service’ are  words in many companies lexicon’s these days!
