No more machines for me anytime soon.
A couple weeks ago our computer crashed. We almost got it back up then it just quit booting up.
Yesterday my wife took it to a computer shop for diagnosis. No idea what was wrong but it would cost us a bunch to find out. So she traded it in on a newer one with a little newer operating system.
So much for that.
I had several machine related things I was going for and a machine on GW right here in Springfield that I lot out on.
I've also lost all bookmarks, mostly sewing related, and email addresses from QB members from the last year.
We're only partially back up and running so I'll try to PM those of you I was working on projects with.

Ah phooey, I forgot to be specific. The email addys and book marks lost were from the first crash. I got us up and running with a back up disk.
The hard drive is in the shop, they did give us thumb drive with most of the files on it. Wife's going back after work to make sure they get us the rest of the files.
OK, question about this forum.... I'm on IE right now, and as I'm typing this thing is putting a red bar under each word as I type. It's really slowing me down BAD. It's not the computer, I'm sure it's QB, how do I turn it off?

Well, if you really feel you need a Machine fix - I'll bring you a few, or five . . . along with the treadle cabinets. What does not fit in my Machine shed, or that I want for my personal Singer collection are going to find new homes.
I'll be like those with too many zucchini - if you leave your car door unlocked, I sneak a machine in there on you!

Sorry about the crash Joe. I'm waiting for mine to die. I have Windows XP and my computer is old enough it isn't worth trying to install an updated version of windows. I figure it's just a matter of time before some virus gets in and finishes it off.
I use Firefox for a browser and installed AdBlock Plus from Firefox. QB seems vulnerable to a lot of advertizing junk, some of it borderline malware. I don't remember the red line thing for sure. I had one thing that would put links on every word that looked like they could sell something. I haven't had a problem since I put in AdBlock.
I'll send you a pm with my email address.
