It Seems I Am Not Alone
I am convinced that I could make a Million or maybe even two – if I had an answer to some of the computer problems that have come my way with the last change over to the NEW WINDOWS VISTA. The problems are so strange. In fact maybe if I had another lifetime I would be very rich solving the problems that others have experienced.
My particular problem is simple. The machine will not connect to wireless router. It did well for a week or so and then nothing. It will connect to other routers with no trouble at all – just this one unit is non-communicative. Maybe it is Demon Possessed? After all most of what is done on it is in the “Spiritual World Stuff”(I am a pastor!).
Well it seems after doing buckets of reading today – real early this AM – the VISTA has a problem that comes soon after the new Updates are loaded on to your machine. The Windows people give your machine a shot in the old Mother Board to make it better. And soon after the machine stops functioning the way it should.
A few years ago there was also huge problems with the other Windows programs as the Service Packs came through and messed up our machines. Maybe some of you don’t remember that era – you are not old enough.
Today I had a Toshiba Laptop set up beside the new HP Laptop. The Toshiba was and is flying high… working very well – even in its old age. The HP stated over and over again that there was no Internet available – no signal available. DUH! The Toshiba was sailing along less than one inch away from this STRUGGLING VISTA wonder. The signal was burning holes in the side of the HP –but the dumb thing just didn’t know it!
I went the Google Search and typed in the report that the new HP gives me – at least the new HP VISTA gave me…. BINGO! There was probably a 100,000 responses to my search… about 100,000 people that might pay big dollars right now for the privilege to find an answer…. But even the experts don’t know yet! Now there is a potential Home Based Business!
But we all have the same problem and are all provoked to do something.
I went so far to download “Buntu version 7” – a new operating system that simply exist with or without Vista. If it works I will tell the whole world! Maybe in a free moment or two I will deal with that next…
As different people have contacted me I have come to the realization that we are in the same boat. I am not alone. There is a comfort in that to some extent in that we are all together – maybe 100,000 at this point in time.
It is happening with other items and programs as well.
It is neat to be a part of something so big – the “problem”. It means that there is an “answer” to even this problem. Given long enough someone will find a solution.
Switching streams…
I read today that men are still trying to conquer “Nanga Parbat” – in the dead of a continuous winter(January). “Nanga Parbat” is in the north west part of Pakistan and stands 26,660 feet high(8,126 Meters). The painful way that the men tried to make it to the top is an agonizing story. The men they wrote about the National Geographic Magazine this week, were from Poland. Their Polish Pride drives them on. Quite an amazing article to say the least. The one last comment is powerful… “….they will be back.”
My VISTA problems seam little in comparison.
Pause…
The other day a family contacted us to tell of their young, vibrant son that has been hit by a very small virus that could well leave him out of school for at least a year. It could also leave him with paralysis – and the worst case scenario not being able to walk or have the high level of mobility that this very active young man has had up to now. The virus has attacked the sheath around the nerves in his spinal cord.
His life and the life of his family have been altered in a small moment that the virus entered his body. Nobody knows when or how it happened. It just did.
He needs our prayer and the family needs a whole bunch too. It will be a long journey to say the least.
My VISTA problems are really very small in comparison.
It is all about perspective… where you are and in what attitude you are when it happens.
Lots to mull over today… lots and lots…
