Tech Support Rant

Foamy the Squirrel says it so much better than I could…behold the story of my life for the last 48 hours. The MP3 player’s program will load on the Pentium III/Windows 98 machine but will not run. The PIII will download, but not run, drivers for memory sticks and other USB devices, although it HAS a USB port. Perhaps it’s not so “U”. Somebody tell Nancy Mitford!

The Laptop running Windows XP Pro will install the program, but not get online. It will run the program, but not connect to the MP3 player. It will also Copy from CDs inserted in it, at playing speed only, making lovely little album folders with icons and everything, but when you open them, they are empty.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have done it. I have broken CNN. As of two days ago, when you use the CNN Search the Web function for the scholarly term “Viggo Women Friends” my blog is the #1 search result.

And for damn good reason. Yew betcha.

Now, if someone could only tip him off… he’s about three years late and his mate is getting cold… did I say “mate?” Why, I meant “yerba mate” of course!

The Blog Song

Do you think he wants us to check his blog? Proof positive that bloggers, no matter what their skin tone, cannot dance worth beans.

The only thing that could make this better is if he were wearing a short-sleeved shirt with that polyester tie. I wonder if that’s his real face or if those are Groucho glasses? I’ve always been partial to the MadV look, myself.

Only with tentacles.
