Recovering 'puter

So, it took me two days to get my computer to just start!
An additional day to identify the problem.
Add another virtual day get it all recovered!
What a mess!

Back in the birth days of the personal computer, I worked with one of my professional friend, Ben Norton.  He came up with a series of utilities which I thought indispensable on a PC!  Eventually he moved on to working with Billy-bob at MicroSquish, and I never heard from him again.  But I continue to use "his" products.

It turned out that when the Norton tool attempts an update - but fails, it freaks and trips something which locks up your computer!  sigh ...

So, still running data restore process and getting my system back!

Interesting, last week I had a feeling that something was awry computer-wise, so I bought to huge flash drives and backed everything up!  Thank you Lord for tripping my MicroSquish warning senses!

So 20 more hours of flash drive unloading!
But, I am now up against my visit with dying ex-stepmother!
sigh
Not looking forward to next week at all!
sigh .....
