Fun with Computers
It all started two years ago when one little drop of molten sticky bun lava landed on my left index finger. The burn never healed. A few weeks ago the burn swelled up and hurt and so, at my friend, Tara's suggestion, I soaked it in Epson's salts. Worked well for the swelling. But it turns out that Epson's salts water isn't good for computer keyboards. Soooo, I get a new keyboard for my MAC and spend way to much overnighting it. Then, the little button to open the CD/DVD slot doesn't work. SO then I get the old one out of the shed and Lo! and Behold! That button works on the old one. So, I'm in the process of switching out of the old one--(After watching "Galaxy Quest" again appreciating Tony Shaloub and having interesting reverberations with Alan Rickman--having recently watched "Harry Potter" and "Love Actually") again. I plug the new board in and all of a sudden the DVD port opens up. I push every button I might have accidently pushed in the process of plugging in the board and it turns out that holding down F11 and F12 together for a couple of seconds opens the thing. Ain't life grand?!
