Computer woes make me realize that while computers can save time, they can also devour huge chunks of it. Case in point, my print head went on my printer. We had a photo printer I'd bought my husband and he'd never used. Why not use that?

Great idea except I can't get the CPU to recognize the updated print driver I downloaded from the company's web site. No one wants to take the blame for why it won't work.

Then we get a lightning strike which takes out our sprinkler control box (again) and something in my wireless router. Strange thing, the wireless part continues to work but the PC activity light won't light up. More hours on the telephone, email, etc.

Suddenly, I realize I've spent more time trying to get these things to work than using them this past week! On the bright side, the lightning didn't hit me.
