To all who waited so very patienly in the ter lounge , I apologize not being able to join due to problems with my pc. I understand this hasn't happend in the history of TER and I feel so very bad. Actually I couldn't sleep last night and went over and over the problem ( w/my PC) in my head that I got up about 3am and went to clean up my computer. You see I have the motherboard standing on the floor since I hate clutter. That results in dust getting in to my pc. So I took out my vacuum and gave my PC a good cleaning. So things are a bid faster now . I am so sorry missing out of meeting the ones who attended the chat last night! I heard some of you were chanting german songs? Darn it...would have loved to be there with you. I will try if stuff will let me , to re- schedule.
xoxo Nadia

Yeah, I've heard that dust really shows down a computer.  When I first got mine, it was 500 MHz, but after all this dust, it's slowed down to about 350 MHz.  I'm losing memory, too. (:

Thank you for understanding...although I'm not sure if you are serious. I am .I don't think its the best for my PC to sit on the floor but like I said, I hate clutter especially on my desk. I actually had no idea how much gunk can get in to your computer . Again , thank you. xoxo Nadia

PS...I was for well over an hour with tech support on the phone and it feels like a new PC again. Should have done that yesterday...my loss.
