Bad PC

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’m a little tired today. I was up later than I should have been trying to fix a problem on Angela’s PC. Everything else on the PC works ok, but neither Outlook or Outlook Express wil open. They get to the splash screen and that’s it. I tried doing everything with Outlook last night, including uninstalling/reinstalling it, but the problem persists. I’m assuming, since the problem has presented itself in both email apps, that there’s some problem with a protocol or something, but the real question is, since we have 5 machines for the two of us, wouldn’t it be quicker to simply setup the Mac, or another PC to get her email than to try and hunt down the problem with this one? Then we could just leave this one alone and be capable of doing everything but email. Call me lazy if you will, but it makes sense to me! Or, I could also just try installing Thunderbird on her current PC and see if it has the same problem or not…

    Dan wrote to tell me about another possible entry into the Freeware News Aggregator Comparison. It’s called Free Reader. Alas, the review will be slightly delayed because said program does not appear to have any options to tell it to connect using a firewall and proxy. So I’ll have to wait until I have some…

    Just a few things that have struck me about my new Vista machine: OK, so Dell announced on June 18 that they were going to allow customers the option to not have some pre-installed software. I ordered my system the week before that and saw that option, how new is it really? This system came…
