Just another Monday
Today is 7th day of the third month, the 67th day of the year, the first Monday of March, and there are only 292 shopping days left until Christmas. It is also: - Casimir Pulaski Day
- Fun Facts About Names Day
- National Be Heard Day
- National Cereal Day

There are earlier listings about Roman Emperors, deaths and births and changes, but I was more interested to learn in 321 the Emperor Constantine I decrees that the “dies Solis Invict “ (sun-day) is the day of rest in the Empire.
My computer odyssey is at an end – according to tech support, as of Saturday I should be good to go now. In the three+ years that I have had this Alienware X5, the motherboard, the memory and the hard drive have been replaced and the OS re-loaded four times [each time meaning that I have to reload my 2nd [online] life from scratch. While I still am convinced that there is a problem with the graphics card, support feels strongly that my viewing issues have been symptoms and that now the freezing, blanking and crashing has been addressed. While I am far from happy about what all has happened, I will say that DELL has stood by their warranty – none of this work cost me a dime – and that both the tech support and the technicians who have come to my home for installation have been friendly, patient and competent. OTOH: It just seems to me that I shouldn’t have had to deal with months of poor performance, followed by hours of support calls without getting a more definitive solution. I doubt I will ever recommend or buy DELL again – altho I have considered possibly trading in this CPU for the newest, greatest version. OTOH: If things work from this point forward, I guess I should be satisfied without having them replace the machine. The warranty runs out in December – we’ll see how the machine is working then and how much renewing for another year would cost.
And my 2nd Life is always there, waiting for me when I return…..
