In case anyone else wants to know, here is the solution that Daniel found for me. Go to this website [link] click on the "direct removal link". You will get a "page not found" error. Using the thingy at the top of the Safari tool bar that is the square with the arrow pointing up, there is a "request desktop site". Click that while on the page not found, that should let you into where you can deactivate your account.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I was able to request (and get to) the desktop site in Chrome on my iPhone.

In terms of the cheap laptop - how about Linux? Linux should run as well on cheap hardware as on a chromebook. You are not limited to browser baeed software. And you can run Firefox for most browser based software. Not a rece by me but I wonder what the experts on this stuff think.

Linux can work pretty well. Chrome is also available for Linux and that lets you do stuff like stream Netflix and stuff (since it's not totally open source). Steam gives you access to games these days, and Libreoffice is finally pretty good.
When I replace my six year old laptop I intend to do so with an inexpensive Thinkpad from Lenovo's outlet website and replace the OS with Linux immediately.

Question of the day, for web types:
Is there a preference these days for joomla over wordpress?

Thanks, Liese. I did decide to stick with wordpress.
I bought the template I like and then spent an hour on the phone with a very nice tech for a company I don't love.
Now, the site doesn't look anything like the preview. I'm so bummed. I just want the thing to look like the preview so that I can just change the text and graphics. I'm proficient at that...sort of. The set up? NSM.

Lynda.com has some good tutorials. If I were local, I'd teach you for free!

Thanks! Yeah, I may see if any local friends can help too. There's a ridiculous excel sheet that really has too much info on it, for my new project, and I think one way to make it less ridiculous by making it more so would be to use pivot tables. Because right now they're manually updating the summaries...
