Spam deleted. I do hope Mac is OK.

I've had a series of personal problems and was unable to check the computer more than once for a few minutes yesterday.

The first problem arose several days ago when my desktop computer died. My son temporarily brought up a flaky computer from the basement to use. It has only the basic OS and Office installed, but not the rest of my software. It also has a nasty habit of shutting down every few minutes so it's just not reliable. My son ordered parts to build a new computer from scratch, but that will take awhile to complete.

My laptop also has a problem. The BIOS battery died and I have to keep reconfiguring it every time I turn it on.

Other more serious family health problems came up, which I won't go into now.

My son lost his wallet with all his ID cards in a movie theater day before yesterday. Our car is about to die and needs to be replaced. He drove it out to Long Island and got stuck there at a friend's house when it wouldn't start. He called me at 4:30 AM this morning to get the number of AAA. I just emailed him a copy of the registration, which he didn't have on him.

I have to get to school in a couple of hours, and I have a doctor's appointment after that.

I'll try to email Mac to see if he replies. If he's on vacation, he may not have access to a computer.
