What A Piece of Junk!

Alas, my stalwart readers, computer difficulties have rendered posting relatively sparse.  My heartfelt apologies.  There has been much gnashing of teeth, attempts at repair/reboot/re-something which has led to nothing more than remorse for having purchased the wretched machine from a company that shall not be named, but whose name rhymes with Hell.  Appropriate, no? 

Never fear, hope is on the horizon.  Bear with us as we resolve and conquer!
