 | Evie, Most public libraries will have computers where you can access the site. There's all kinds of ways to get here. Hope to see you still posting!

| Hi Evie, Since you seem to be a critical part of this forum, You NEED a NEW computer, here is my suggestion  Sell some of the beautiful things that you make ( you would of course have to cut more to replace them) then take the money and buy yourself a nice new Dell with all of the software already installed. I used to build my own and don't think it is worth it anymore, by the time you buy the operating system etc.

|  Evie  I know you're in the desert, but I'm sure you're not in the middle of nowhere  They must have cybercafes somewhere around you,and as Kevin mentionned the'res the library. Heck, out here they now have terminals in hospital waiting rooms and metro stations, train/airport terminals. They even have some on the street now: converted phone boots. All of those belong to the phone company. Because of the Cellulars, they are trying to find a new market, so they install internet access points and charge by the minute. And you didn't mention what the problem was with the PC, is it hardware or software related? What are the symptoms? A few of us here know a bit about PCs and support, so maybe, just maybe, we could be of some help to keep you around? Let us know, Marcel

| I wonder if your comp is infected with some virus, like a spamming virus or something. Maybe a big hammer and a shallow grave would be best, as long as you first get a new puter hooked up. miss ya, dale (pc stupid too) |

| Hi Evie If there's ever anything I can do to help you with your computer problems, just let me know. I may not have the answers myself, but I have enough contacts to be able to find them. The same offer applies to everyone here. Gill

| Ditto what Gill said...I've built up a good working knowledge of computers, and have a friend who does it for a living... Evie, the first thing I'd do is download Spybot, AdAware, and AVG virus software. If you are on dialup, it may take a while, but all are free and will clear away a lot of clutter on your computer! Bob

| Hi Evie, Our local library has free network access. My mom uses it her connection speeds are almost as fast as the modem allows around 52k. She very rarely gets dumped because not many people use the library net anymore. It gives her allot less grief than AOL. Got luck! It is nice to see you and Gil back
