Texas Weather

Hi guys,
Well we had a downpour last night. Even had tornado watches as a front went through. We had a lake out front but it has disappeared now. You hear about ice and snow but that is hardly ever around here. We are far enough south that that weather always misses us. It sounded like a summer storm with all the rolling thunder. Texas is such a large state that they can get 15 inches of snow in Amarillo and we will be in a heat wave.

In 2 days my Microsoft Office 60 day trial version will be over and I'm wondering what will happen to all my documents that I saved in Word. A person gets frustrated with a new version of Microsoft in that you have to try and track down new driver software for all your old peripherals. (A peripheral is a device attached to a host computer but not part of it whose primary functionality is dependent upon the host, and can therefore be considered as expanding the host's capabilities, while not forming part of the system's core architecture.)(wikipedia) I haven't been able to print with my old laserjet and my searches for a new driver have been fruitless.

I try not to be down on all this computer stuff as I realize how nice it is to just sit down, and type, and hit send, and off goes a thought, request, musing, apology, encouragement, advice,etc, etc, etc. One thinks of our parents, grandparents and beyond that didn't have this almost instant communication. It was weeks, months and even years before they learned of news from loved ones. Having said that , thanks for keeping in touch. K&W
