"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

My computer is very ill. It either shows a black screen or wants a boot disk. I am a bad person and never made one. I had interviews yesterday and today for something I'm writing, and all the information was on the computer. Fortunately, I have a netbook and a Carbonite backup. I would like to testify that the Carbonite annual fee is worth every dime.

Now I have to find out if the patient can be healed.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I’m running Mountain Lion. So far, so good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How long did it take to download?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What are the features you bought it for?

Ginger,

Where are you taking your computer?

There's a local computer repair place that has pretty good reviews. I'll find out.

The Kindle app for iOS is annoying me. Sometimes when I come back to a book I'm reading, it opens on the page I was one, and sometimes it brings me to the beginning of the book, forcing me to scroll back to the page I was on. It should always open where I left off, right?

Also, I've finished two books where I can't get it to show 100% read--it stays at 99%.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Mine does. And between all my devices (well, it asks if I want to synch to the most recent and, with Kindle books, I generally do) too.

Uninstall and reinstall? It's pretty quick. It's been effective for me when I've had iOS apps get confused.
