I think that my computer is not long for this world- it is not a happy machine right now- wouldn't turn on, for a few hours (then consented to do so once I called tech support), and the cursor keeps doing absurd things.
So I think I'm going to be in the market for a new computer shortly. Eep- this is not an area of expertise, nor was it precisely in my budget plans. Still, it's been 4 years, nearly precisely, since I acquired this one (always a smidge fidgety), so it's about time, I suppose.
And while I'd go through with tech support to try and figure it out- apparently since it's out of warranty, if they help me in any depth, they charge for tech support too, even if it doesn't help. Since the thing is dying, it makes me more likely just to go get a new one, rather than trying to eek out more time with this one, if I have to pay for that privilege.
