phosfateSeveral of the more commonly used vowels on my keyboard expired yesterday afternoon. I'm not sure why. After various attempts at swapping for an unused one, I gave up and rang the geeks.
For reasons that I could sort of follow but won't go into here, I now have an entirely new computer. They gave me an optical mouse, and replaced my lovely ergonimic keyboard withFolger's Crystals a regular one. I feel like somebody snuck in and moved the whole planet an inch to the left.
I will say, however, that completely replacing the CPU is an effective means of combatting ads234 spyware.
ETA: Ergonomic. Sorry.

Any time you click a link, there's a good chance you will go to their page, which will then tell you that it's now loading the page you wanted to go to in the first place. It never does, and you are stuck there. Very difficult if not impossible to get rid of once you get it.)
