At around 10:45 A.M. my computer started to give me some trouble. It kept freezing, coming back and freezing again.
So I decided to unplug it and plug it again. Then, nothing worked. Finally a screen came over and said that they were trying to fix "whatever". Didn't work. So I unplug and plug again and again.
I was so tensed that I started to eat chocolates to ease my nerves.
Finally after 45 minutes of wasting my time, everything was okay again.
Go figure!
Those 45 minutes will never be back though and I feel bad about them being lost forever.

@marlina my hubby doesn't have trouble with his laptop but he does have trouble with the new account he set up on SKYPE. He get in and checks the box to keep him in and it throws him out again. So back and forth and at this moment he too has decided too much time wasted and is doing other things. Glad you got your problem fixed.

You didn't waste that 45 minutes - you ate chocolate! 
My ex-boss' way of "fixing" the computer was turning it off then turning it back on later. As if it would heal itself? I don't know, but sometimes it sure feels like it does!

The computer is human the sooner we figure this out the better off we will be.

I always get upset with technology. I don't know how to deal with problems. I wasted time responding to an email to a friend. I couldn't find (or remember) if I pressed "send", so I rewrote everything. She told me she received it the first time. But, I didn't eat chocolate! Lol!

It's no fun when you're time gets wasted. If it happens again try resetting the modem. :-)

When you unplug a computer or a tv or whatever, you need to leave it unplugged for at least 3-5 minutes. I always let it go 10 and go do something else to calm down!

Computers seem to have a mind of their own.

Uhhh... Marie? (Or am I not supposed to call you that now? Sorry, if I'm not.)
You unplugged your pc to shut it off? Or I am misunderstanding something? Hmmm.... ?
