Shall we call it a conspiracy? I've tried to print a couple of knitting patterns from .pdf files, and my computer DID print a page or two of each - but not the last page! Then it declared it was shutting down because of an "illegal operation". (And of course the last page of each of those patterns contained too much information to easily jot down at the bottom of the previous page.) Good luck to you.

That's what anybody needs to hear when their computer is having fits. Poor Baby. I hope that it all works out sooner rather than later. Our weather is freezing tonight for the first time this year. Shouldn't have to deal with frozen CD drives too. Poor Baby.

Or, usually, worse.

My lace holes are not coming out even, and I've frogged it and started over 6 times. grrr. I also spilled a glass of wine in my keyboard - classic, no? I'd always heard of people doing that and never imagined I would. Things are just kinda gummy - the computer gods are with me, it still works. *sigh* I want to go back to bed . . .
