Brand New Key
Consequences of one spilled glass of iced tea...
Over the weekend Mum spilled a glass of iced tea on her twelve-year-old keyboard and killed half the membrane in it, so today we replaced the keyboard with a new one...
...Which her OS didn't recognize. So we upgraded her OS...
...Which made her computer forget the distinction of its own modem from a hole in the ground. And other sundry talents we find useful. So Mum's out of (online) circulation till we can sort this stuff out, and I accomplish the necessary troubleshooting.
