Today has been one of those maintenance days for my computer. I took it all apart, clean, dusted and reinitialized all the drivers, Put in a new graphics and sound card, mine were so old that Win98 would barely support them. I tried to put an additional printer port but failed in that endeavor . I was hoping I would be able to upgrade this ole thing with XP but I still have to many older parts and really don't want to take any unnecessary changes. I did walk all around all day my quilt that I have been working on but didn't even take a break to do a single stitch. I love working on the inner works of computers so this was something that I knew would take all day. Now mind you, I do have a number of sound cards I could have used. Fairly new ones too. But this time it was easier to just spend $15 for a new card than to spend hours trying to find the right drivers for the right card. Now that I bored you all to death with my computer exercises I am going to get ready for bed. The only thing left to do with the puter stuff is put away the boxes of parts that I had to get down to make a few changes. I will have DH do that for me tomorrow. Then I will be able to catch up here. juliasb
