One of the main reason for the lack of updates recently was my laptop troubles. It became unstable and would often not turn on. I borrowed one from my brother and was able to get some posts out but still had issues. Mine was set up to be efficient on writing articles and I was used to it. The keys were all in the wrong place on the borrowed one and I made even more spelling errors than normal. I was holding out till this past weekend, that was tax free, to get a new laptop and continue writing. I still have some work to do to get used to the new one and set it up. So far I’m hating windows 8 by the way. besides having to buy a new one though the old one dying didn’t bother me very much. Normally it means the loss of data and valuable things. With me I didn’t have that problem and I will share with you what I did to make my system prepared for a failure.
