Finished installing free AVG anti-virus on my Tab 2, Droid X, and Carolyn’s phone. Here is a Kaspersky article about growth and threats from mobile viruses. I still don’t feel safe but I do feel safer.
Yesterday was Master Sam’s second birthday; I wanted to do a blog for
him but by the time the hospital medical establishment got through with
me in my pre-op tests, interviews, and money rendering I was too tired
for much of anything. I have an appointment with the surgeon assistant
in a few days for more of the same. We stopped at Burger King for a late
lunch and I had the Memphis pulled-pork barbecue sandwich and Carolyn
had a barbecue rib sandwich. They both were good but should have been
larger for a satisfying meal. Anyway, a belated Happy Birthday to my Big
Boy!
Late Sunday my PC suddenly shut down; I was able to restart it but it
was soon down again, finally coming to the point where it would not
restart. I built the unit several years ago and was able to think my way
through a bit of diagnostics, deciding the power supply had failed. I
immediately ordered a new power unit from Amazon which I received on
Tuesday. I already had the old supply removed and eagerly and
temporarily plugged in all the connections and put electric to it. The
PC started fine and has been working ever since. JJ permanently
installed the new unit inside the PC and all is well in computer land. I
am glad I did not have to build a new PC; I just do not have the money
for it right now. As it is, it cost less than $50 for the repair,
including one-day shipping for the power supply. A computer repair shop
fix would have been in the range of $200 — $300.
