---Need to get back on track after holidays. It didn’t help getting an iPod for xMas, although it did bring back the old joy of gift getting lost since childhood: an excellent toy to play with. To get it to work required installation of an iTunes update, which in turn required an operating system update. With my puny dial-up connection that would have been a daunting prospect, but fortunately our son Neil was home and was able to mooch off the neighbor’s wi-fi and get the needed updates on his computer by holding it up in the air out on the sun room. Anyway, I can see how this iPod might prove to be quite a diversion.
---I know I have a whole slew of emails I haven’t answered. I hope to get to them presently. Another diversion during the holiday was caused by my AOL software apparently going bad. It couldn’t load the tool “Mail” (error = -39), so I was unable to write email, access my address book, view stored mail sent or received, etc. But I was able to get on the Internet and get to my email through aol.com. Now I think I have fixed the problem by installing a whole new version of AOL, getting rid of all the old that could be found. This has caused all my saved mail and mail signatures to be lost, but I had been keeping most incoming emails in a word processing file, so that should be okay. I just won’t be able to revisit old sent and received emails in my AOL filing cabinet, as I would sometimes find need to do. Ironic that the -39 error code, which I looked up, means “End of File”. These crazy computers--drives me crazy. But it's fun when they work, with what they can do, if you can figure out how to make them do it.
---If you have sent me something and are waiting on me for a reply, it wouldn’t hurt to give me another checking in. Chances are I am already getting ready to finally get back to you, but I did notice lately that AOL had my spam filter automatically set at medium and there were a few real messages in the spam folder when I checked it. I went a long time not even knowing to check there, so that is probably what happened to messages I know of that were lost. No telling how many there might have been that I don’t know about.
