They became much more careful. I don't repair the computer too often now (although I do have a service call for this week, they finally installed DSL and really screwed some stuff up on the way by).

It is bright and sunny and farking cold this morning here, -7C, and looks like we will have a little more of this before spring is truly sprung. That just means more shit to do outside that I don't have time to handle. So wonderful.

Tim Horton's coffee is already served, and work is working.

Yea, it was kinda funny actually Alex. The machine has been fine since I cleaned it up several weeks ago. UNTIL their sons got home from boarding school a couple weeks back. Fortunately, the guys are back at school now...so the computer should remain stable for a while
