Computer Crash

I had a giveaway planned for Halloween, but on Thursday morning my computer crashed with absolutely no warning.  Then I smelled something burning.

Since the computer is both my business life (blogging, writing) and my social connection to others (via Facebook chat), I had to replace it right away.

So, I went to the store and found a refurbished computer and spent my last dollars on it (none of the money donated for Lita's surgery went to this) in hopes that I would be able to continue in my work.  But this doesn't look like a good long-term solution.  This computer has half the memory my old one did, and it takes five minutes (or more!) to get to a website and navigate to where I want.  It took me five minutes to visit one blog and leave a comment, which is insane.  My old computer didn't run at the speed of light, but I could get to a website in a matter of seconds, not minutes.

I don't know what I'm going to do.  It seems like when it rains, it really pours over here.

I have the giveaway planned for Monday, but if things keep going so slowly, I'm not sure I will be able to have it up then.

  3. I don't know what to tell you to do except keep your eye out for a little better computer. But that is hard to do. That is a pain to do without a computer. We hope you can figure out something soon. Take care.
