If you describe your computer probs in detail, I might perhaps be able to assist you a bit.
I've been gone for a few years - being tech admin at several small boards keeps me rather busy, especially since the first versions of phpBB3 came out. Geez, that software really supports the old admin-wisdom: if you make it idiot-proof, someone upgrades the idiot. (And also the even older wisdom: never change a running system *sigh*) I've been bug-hunting for the best part of the last year and got lots of grey hair in the meantime. Not to mention a few additional lbs.
RL takes its toll as well: I moved, was assigned to a new office, the staff is being drastically reduced and all of a sudden I find myself as my boss' second in command and responsible for some 30 people (with the same salary as before, I might add...)
There are a lot of private worries as well: at the tender age of 45, my brother had the ingenious idea to marry (a Phillippine girl who is not even half his age!) and buy a house. That means, after my parents die I must pay him off if I intend to keep my parents' house. I can do that if my sister agrees to share with me. However, she says she can't plan that far ahead. Being a baby-boomer, I can count myself lucky if I get the minimum social insurance rate when I get pensioned off in about 20 years. That would be something around 400€ / 550 US$. So it's literally vital for me to have my own house as I could never afford even to rent a flat. It all depends on how my sister decides and the uncertainty drives me nuts.
I guess my only chance is to marry some rich guy.
Hmm.....Johnny Depp is my age and so far unmarried....
