Great oaks from little acorns grow.

Last week my dependable Mac had its power supply fail. A minor problem to be sure. But great oaks from little acorns grow. The computer worked OK beofre but some functions wouldn't work properly. But it worked. The operating system which had been corrupted by Budda who about 6 months ago had taken to sitting on the keyboard. The computer worked OK but some functions wouldn't work properly. But it worked. So I also instructed the repair guy to repair the operating system while he ahd it. Therein lay the problem.
Now, after the reconstruction there are a number of functions that prevent me from using the entire suite of functions the Mac offers. The most serious drawback is that the download functions will not download, videos will display correctly from Quicktime but not from inside AOL( although I did load pics from the computer to the blog for the entry late yesterday). And it won't download pictures from the digital camera. Beside all that its slow as Hell. Typical of my approach to life, I'll meditate on it and see what comes of it.
More to come as I figure out work arounds to the present short comings. Or correct them.
Computer problems are proof that we're all on this flight together.
