Blind or deaf or something

At the tail end of a lovely day, an unlovely thing -- my Finder crashed and when I rebooted, it would only go so far as the blue screen.

I've tried everything Apple suggests and some other stuff I found at Macfixit and still no joy. I may need to reinstall Jag, but I can't find my CDs and it's too late at night to rummage for them.

So I'm in OS 9 right now and my god is the web ever ugly! And I saw a pop-up ad! And animated gifs! I've installed Mozilla now, though, so those atrocities should only be a bad memory and I've got my beloved tabs back.

Even so -- working without pre-emptive multitasking is like losing one of my senses. I feel clumsy and slow. And I keep looking for the dock.

I'm getting email OK, but I can't access my old mail right now. And I was going to vid all day tomorrow. IIRC, something like this happened the last time I set time aside to vid.

I shall stop whinging now and go to bed.

Poor Hal! Computer troubles are so very upsetting. I hope you haven't lost any data and are able to get your machine back in running condition very soon.

Poor you!

Now you're seeing the world the way I do every day. *g*

Sorry, though. I know it's frustrating. I just spent three days trying to print something, so I get it, believe me.
