Excused absence

I have been temporarily disabled by a fried computer. It won’t run and since its warranty won’t run either — it expired a month before — I’ve said to hell with it and ordered a new computer since the damage is more than I want to pay. It’s an HP laptop. I’ve had good luck with their products and satisfactory service. That is more than I can say for Dell. I will be back on as frequently as possible until my new computer arrives.
