Speaking of the old days of cathode-ray monitors and dial-up modems, remember when you’d get dire messages similar to the above? Today, things are much better. Microsoft now relies heavily on much more civilized phrases such as, “Please wait.” And speaking of digital things I don’t understand, time is running out on the WordPress version that underlies this Web site. Remember when it disappeared entirely a few months ago? Chad, a nice young Earthlink employee with an odd accent, helped me get back online but told me I’d have to bring my software up to date by the end of the year or even he might not be able to help me. Well, I’m about to start monkeying with things, so if this site disappears altogether some day soon, try not to panic. Keep checking back, and, as the great Houdini said about life hereafter, “If I can possibly come back, I will.”
