If you tried to read new articles on this web site in the past 2 or 3 weeks, you immediately found that you could not do so. The reason is that my home computer was broken.  I have to apologize for that.

In short, my home computer was broken. I consider myself to be a “techie” but this time my technical expertise was lacking. It was frustrating for me and I am sure it was frustrating for you also.

I’ll skip over the nitty-gritty details except for one thing: a couple of weeks ago, in frustration, I went to a local computer store and purchased a brand new computer (a Macintosh although it could have been anything else). And brought the new computer home, plugged it in, and within 2 or 3 minutes the new machine was also broken.

Yes I broke it. So much for my technical expertise.

OK, I eventually figured out what I did wrong and now (I hope) I am back in business.

Anyways… a lot of things happened while I was offline and I think I have a lot of “catching up” to do….

So please excuse me, I have work to do.
