Marc -

I am not the only one who uses "my" computer.  My daughter and husband were 
still here.  Laura uses my computer because it has a fast internet hook-up 
and she needs it to do research for her classes.  My husband uses it for 
his business e-mail when he is home.  The computer was hooked up to a big 
APC battery back-up and the lightning got that, too.

I'm getting a newer, faster, bigger computer to replace my fried 1999 model 
so everything should be fine next week.  In the meantime, I'm trying to 
work on the laptop and it's driving me crazy.  I left it running all night 
(working!!) and it only managed to convert 100 of the thousands of RAW 
photos I took in Honduras.  I'm developing film today, but can't hook the 
scanner up to the laptop so that will have to wait, too.
