I feel I should warn you that we appear to be having a major computer melt-down here in the basement. Something about a corrupted registry and updating BIOSes. All I know is that I can hear the swearing while upstairs. Over the TV. It’s pretty graphic and is usually accompanied by loud crashes and poundings. I had no idea it took so much violence to install a new chip set. Although I am, by nature, a very curious person, I also have a healthy self-preservation instinct so even though I would love to stick my head down here and ask “how’s it going”, I refrain because frankly, I’m very fond of this head and don’t want to lose it.

So if there is a lag in postings, do not be alarmed. I’m sure all systems will (eventually) revert to normal.
