…the weather report says 2-3 inches possible.<\/p>\n
It’s 5 inches deep out there and still coming down. We are due to get another 2-3 inches tonight, which, by the way it is coming down, may be another five inches.<\/p>\n
Then it will ‘precipitate’ in the morning and ‘rain’ tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Welcome to Spokane!<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I’m supposed to get the repairman from Dell to install new guts in my laptop…I’m backing up, yes I am.<\/p>\n
I occasionally use the USB headset. I also got a little SanDisk 16 gig backup from Jane for Christmas—don’t inhale sharply or you could ingest it…tiny thing. 16 gig. Size of your thumbnail. But the headset won’t work if the USB drive is in.<\/p>\n
I contacted Dell with this fact: I’d run the diagnostics, and the tech and I started in flashing the bios and then updating drivers. No joy. Whereupon the tech declared she was replacing the mobo, the I\/0 thingie, and something else, I think the HDD controller—and exchanging the mistaken keyboard AND the now-worn palmrest they put in last time so I get my lighted keyboard back. Huzzah. This pretty well guts the machine and re-does everything but the screen. Dell’s been good to this user. I always get the top end service policy, and this will be the second machine I’ve had that they’ve done a total rebuild on…not to mention just about annual replacement of keyboards. <\/p>\n
The local repair guy is an odd duck, but he does know where the screws go and how many he has, so I have no problem. He goes away and I have a ‘new’ laptop.<\/p>\n
The weather may be a glitch in this plan, but it will clear. And I don’t know why the fix is so extreme over so tiny a glitch, but hey, they want to take back the guts and probably refurb them, and I get somebody else’s, refurbed, but tested, and it all continues to operate.<\/p>\n
I’ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
