ciroccojSo a few weeks ago, Explorer started telling us this on our adult computer:
"The page cannot be displayed: The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings."
Couldn't get in to a bunch of places, couldn't use Explorer. This was a royal pain, but I could still use Netscape on the adult computer and the kids' computer could run both Netscape and Explorer.
Then Netscape on the adult computer started to tell us "The connection was refused when attempting to contact website.com", where website was such irrelevant things as gmail and the student's InfoWeb.
Then the kids' computer developed something odd with Netscape. So now if I wanted to check my gmail I had to be on the kids' computer, and yahoo mail, I had to be on mine.
Network between the two failed.
And today, the kids' computer suddenly decided to have a screen resolution of about 40x60, which is a little awkward because that means that there is only room for three icons on the screen at a time, and we can't actually get anything done - games, internet, applications, anything. And I can't change it, because the "Settings" screen with the screen resolution is too big to fit on the screen, and I can't move it around with the mouse in order to reach the buttons that change the resolution.
I feel like Dr. Crusher in that episode where the people on the Enterprise kept disappearing, one by one, and she was the only one who remembered them, and the universe itself kept getting smaller and smaller so that eventually it started to eat up the Enterprise.
I want to find Wesley Crusher. I want to know what the *&%$ he's experimenting with this time, that's making this happen, and why he didn't learn his lesson when he nearly shrank his mom into oblivion.
Worf: Wesley Crusher?
Picard: An excellent idea, Mr. Worf. Do turn it on.
