I did get my new phone… I must start with the standard complaint of the battery not being charged – although there is probably a very good reason for this. Some other things are not as good as with my …
My new cellphone is arriving today I hope. For the past few days I have been getting error messages on my Nokia 6600 warning about a SIM card having issues. So, either a new cellphone will help this, or I …
I am starting to fade… I am getting drowsy, and I will soon need to get some sleep… The weekend certainly took a lot out of me… Quote of the day… “When you want a computer system that works, just …
