back online...again

i thought the computer died again so jay took it again and it worked fine. denise brought it back she was picking us up to go to paynesville friday morning-- it didn't work!!!! i called jay but didn't have time to play with it cuz we had to go. he figured maybe the motherboard had died and we just needed to replace that. he was going away for the long weekend too. i played around with it when we got home this evening and couldn't get it running. jay said he might look for a motherboard for us tomorrow. i went to bed then had a revalation-- i wasn't the one who hooked up the computer when denise brought it around. i got out of bed and checked the outside cables to make sure they were attached. the one from the monitor to the hard drive wasn't connected!!!! i put it in and we're up and running. again. 8) i have tons of photos (and a couple REALLY funny video clips) from our weekend in paynesville plus those halloween photos from 10 days ago. i'll put them on tomorrow. right now i'm going back to bed. again.
