A. Prior to Week 1 - This is about my computer, not LMO. BAD COMPUTER!



     
    This is NOT one of my LMO blogs.  This gives some modern history of the latest problems with my computer.  Sunday morning, May 30, 2010, the computer went back to the original settings.  I lost my project which was finally finished and ready to send in.  I sat it down to go open the church and turn on the AC, which had to be done at that time or the church wouldn't be cool in time for church.
   When I came back home, the computer was changed.  I wrote to FSO, and went to church.  I left as soon as the orchestra played for the soldiers and other military.  FSO told me to contact Apple.  I did and they found my project.  There must be more hidden things, but I don't know what.
     Some things survived.  Some documents are there.  Some pictures, some movies are here.  Some are missing.
    I began working on the blog and virtual business card on Tuesday.  I used iweb and never thought about the fact that my other website, the AR one, wasn't there.  When I made the blog, it took on the address of the AR site and that is when I figured there was  a problem.
    I have stopped the blog through iweb and have begun this one, with blogspot, or blogger, which ever it really is called.  
    I believe I may make blogger be my website and not even deal with iweb anymore.
Apple says they know I need to turn my computer in to them so they can see what all needs fixing, but I don't want to lose my class and take time off.  I want to graduated with my group.  I began realizing there were problems back in September, 2009, and talked to FSO, not knowing what was happening.  I thought it was me back then.  I contacted Apple in October.  I've asked Apple and Full Sail if I can have a new computer and the answer was no.  I've asked if I can borrow a computer to send mine off, but FSO doesn't have one, Apple doesn't do that.
    So, here I am, with a handicapped computer.
My trackpad doesn't work.  I use a mouse.  I'm on my 5th mouse, wired, not cordless, as they don't work.
Flash and other Adobe things are a real problem, slightly fixed, but slightly not.
Text boxes spin slowly around, like a spinner in a child's game.
My cursor loves to play hide and seek.
I lose what I'm working on.  Things go away, off the screen.  Sometimes they come back, soon.  sometimes they come back a few hours later, sometimes, a couple of days later and sometimes, not at all.
There is more, but I'm tired and that is all I am thinking of right now.
