It seems the power unit is faulty on my new PC from Arbico. When I took delivery of dozens of new computers years ago at Queens Park High School, we’d find a few DOA (dead on arrival) machines even though they were thoroughly tested if from Research Machines. So I don’t blame Arbico, in fact they are keen to sort the problem out. I could have agreed to have a new power unit sent to me and me fit it, but I declined. For one thing it might not be the power unit itself but the connections or switches so I’d be back to a no-go computer again. I am patient and luckily this Sony Vaio laptop keeps chugging on. Burns through my knees though. And although the Vaio is quiet at first, I only have to work on some long documents and it starts to whine. Roll on the new machine, Arbico.
Hi Geoff,
Congratulations on your new matching role. Not only do you get to write now you get to also sit at the helm of the good ship be-write. This is a long time coming achievement. It is good to know that good things do happen to good people. I am sure your dearest father is looking down from his rocketship with a big smile on his inter galactic face.
I wish you everything great that only the chosen few have achieved. More to the point: Working in a job you love and making the book world a better place.
Best wishes,
M.S. Fletcher
