This is going to be brief. I haven’t been on IBOToolbox very much over the past few weeks. I have been having a great deal of computer problems. Because of that, I am way behind on my work and have been spending far less time on IBO.

Every couple weeks, for several weeks, my computer would lock up and I’d have to reboot – many times a day, for 3 or 4 days. Then, it suddenly would work fine again.

I spent money on repairs a few times, and then early this week, when it started acting up again, I decided enough! I could have bought a new computer with the money I had spent on repairs. So, I purchased a new computer, a laptop (I guess they call them notebooks these days).

It is the first time I have had a laptop for full-time use, and it is quite different for me. I have to learn where the various function keys are. Turned out that the screen was too close (for my old eyes) to use it that way all day long, so today I bought a keyboard so I can push it further away from me on my desk.

So, this is my first blog on my new computer – an ASUS, if you’re wondering. It is a pleasure not to have to worry about when the computer will crash. My husband was thrilled to get my large flat screen monitor (his “clunker” was about 10 years old). He also is now using my old detached webcam since my new “toy” has a camera built in.

I am glad to be back, and once I get caught up on work with my Xpress Healthcare business, I’ll be spending lots of time here on IBO again.
