Slow start.

It's been almost two hours awake.  I did work on the computer first.  No dice.  I did speed checks, which seemed fine.  The only questionable part was latency.  I don't know what is good, though it read 12 ns, I think.  I again tried  to get the software to download and install.  Of courese I realized the system kept timing out.  So I had to reset the power saver options.  They had all of that absolutely throttled down.  Still no good.  I am not sure if the machine is messed, the Internet connection is on the fritz, or if the company is the problem.  People at amazon were suggesting not to buy it there, for the same reasons I am running into.  It might not have anything to do with amazon, I ordered it direct.

I gave up on that for a bit.  I did check the kefirs, sourdough starter, had some breakfast, and checked litter.  There is more incentive to clean that out when it is really fresh.  The girls watch me suspiciously, as if I was going to take it all, or leave my own special package.  Ha.  There's a thought.

I did finish dishes last night, minus one smal pot I really thought of tossing.  Burned.  Actually, I think it might survive.  It'll take another heavy scrub.  As to else?  I think I will see about getting the printer going, use it, get my money back on the security ware, and dump this lemon.  If I want a computer I'll have to put this other one together, and find software which can be installed.  Yikes.

Later.
