- I have a lovely new computer with a problem the dealer says he hasn't
- a clue about (and I believe him - he's nice guy but in over his head)
- Problem is that the system crashes from time to time and when it does,
- there is no more parallel port.
- Then I keep resetting (what else could I do?) and eventually I get it
- back, as a numerical reference.
- As nearly as I can understand it, both the loss and the recover seem
- to be random - if there's a pattern to it, it's beyond me...
- I love my computer, and hate feeling it's erratic and unpredictable.
- Why, sometimes I even use it to work on, so we can't have that...
- I'll be very grateful for any words of advice from the real wizards
- out there...
- Aloha o`i.......pc
