I don't know what I do to computers but my new one is down again. Bad electromagnetic field or something. I'm using Eor's laptop, temporarily, until he rebuilds the registry or something like that? It's not so good for me for typing - it's usually used on a board set across the arms of the comfy chair, so a little too high unless I sit with my legs tucked up under me a little. I would put it in my lap only he's got a mouse attached because the tiny button for moving the cursor is pretty much impossible. And then not that it's any excuse, because I probably would not have got anything done on them anyway, but all the stories I'm working on are on the computer which is down. I know some people use websites to save files in progress so they'll be able to access them no matter where they are - what do you think of that plan for the future, guys? Are there good, reliable, trustworthy sites? Is it going to cost me?

I obviously have a problem - I just started to get involved in work things from home on my day off, through email. I think it's time to take a walk (even though the damned foot is hurting) to get away from the computer.

Try Dropbox - there's a certain amount of file storage for free, and as I recall the cost is pretty reasonable.

I'll check that out. :)

You might have a bad electromagnetic field. My great grandfather couldn't wear a watch because of his.

My Mom usually has problems with watches, too, although I recall one she had wouild only work when she had it on - whenever she took it off it would stop. One hypothesis was that the battery was just low enough so that her electromagnetic field kept it just above the threshhold of where it could run the watch. So apparently there can be things that are properly attuned to one, as well.
