Spoken too soon

King Priam has nothing on us.

It turns out that our technical difficulties were the result of a nasty little Trojan horse of a virus that, while it did not do all the damage it wanted, did kill enough code to eliminate MS Word and the Oklahomily printer. Happily both are back in service, new additional precautions have been added, and our impulsive daughter who borrowed the computer for a little online research is now instructed to accept no gifts from Greeks or geeks from any web source not approved by Dad.

The silver lining in the incident was discovering the incredible amount of information now available online to help a medium-to-fair techie diagnose and fix these sorts of problem. The power of the good internet people can overcome the powers of darkness when we join forces.

Always good to remember.
