Computer rehab was a mug lol

I'm sure y'all was wondering what happened to me. lol

Well, first things first, my computer died on me. In hindsight, maybe I should've blew the air chunks out and shit... I gotta learn how to do that without messing anything up. lol

Second, it took about two, three, counting time, weeks before I finally got a new computer - actually one of my brother's old ones, and a day to get online. Apparently it needed an ethernet card to connect online.

But anyways, I'm back. wave

Support for Windows XP is ending on April 8, 2014. If you're running this version after support ends, you won't get security updates for Windows.

Come on to the other side brother, join Linux cuz Windows 8 sucks. And... Take youself to Big Lots! and buy some air in a can, 3 for $10.00 bucks. lol There's no need to have a computer gasping air. Welcome back.

First of all - hug

Second, I think I heard talk that my brother was gonna buy me a computer that had Windows 7 or something...

Third... I don't even know if we even have a Big Lots anymore (we probably still do) lol but hell folks have lived without security updates on Windows 95, 98, 2000, whatever lol

hmmm Maybe I'll add some general tips about computer maintenance to my new YouTube (when I finallly get things started), since some folks are ignoring the memo. razz I ignored security updates on my old Compaq 98 computer... killed it, all my my free Napster music, gone like the wind. lol Poetic justice. Be careful because some viruses can detect the weakest link in a home setup, if others are using their computers on the same wireless network.

Indeed, iaminparties isn't Roger, he's Joe (Joseph Swanson) from Family Guy.

Funny mistake though.
