The Cliffs of Insanity

We were about to set up the computer for Aunt Tudi when I noticed that the keys that had popped off the keyboard hadn't been replaced. We have to take the computer back to the Geek Squad tomorrow for them to replace the entire keyboard, which will take us about two weeks for us to get the computer back. This is kind of good in a way. I'm wanting to get a couple of 'For Dummies' books for Aunt Tudi to peruse, so she'll have the time to do that for a while before ever having to deal with learning how to work on the computer basics at the same time she's trying to make the computer her own. At least this will give me the chance to get all my files transferred to the new computer and have the old computer ready for a total clean sweep by the time we get the machine back from the Geek Squad. Still, though, it's a big pain in the ass to open the computer up, thinking everything is hunky-dory, only to discover that it's far from. So....POOP.

Even though Aunt Tudi won't officially be online until the computer is back and fully functional, I think I do have her convinced to at least begin working on the new computer so she'll have a pretty good feel for her own once it's back in town.
