Couple of days ago I wrote about my dealings with the elderly and computers, and that puts me in mind of age issues and their relation to computers. And so we face a sort of strange question; is it ok to let kids into the world of torrents?

Well I can you give you a definitive “I don’t know.” Depends on the family, the kids, which kind of torrents. There ARE legal torrents that don’t have any kind of copyright infringement issues; of course those are typical the UNexciting torrents. So it all depends on if you’re ok with young people breaking the law in the convenience of the home. It’s not as dangerous as going to a store and shoplifting, but it’s basically the same thing.

So I’m not going to make this procedure more complex than it has to be. It’s a very easy and inexpensive thing to do, but (and this is a giant sized but) trying to discover that your pc’s power supply is the culprit IS very hard for the average computer user. The main way you can tell is the computer wont do ANYTHING. No kind of lights, or sounds, or fan motion. That could be your CPU if you’ve been fooling around inside your computer or you’re positive you’ve had a recent electrical disruption to your home and you don’t have a surge protector. But more than likely a very dead computer will mean the power supply is dead; they die all the time. No big deal.

So in the last 3 days I’ve had some folks in my life need computer help. My sister needed a mouse, and I’m about to go and deliver that in few minutes. But I also had a friend of the family who’s pushing 80, my grandfather who’s 85 and my grand uncle who’s 83 ask me for computer help. Well these old boys want to keep up with the modern world and who am I to say no?

So the first thing you’ll probably ask is, “how can you have a part two of a first?” Well I wrote about a big snow recently that I considered our “first big snow,” but last night came along and showed me what a REAL first big snow looked like. Please enjoy these fine images that I took from my doorway standing in my underwear as the snow was ending and the temperature dropped to 23 degrees.

Even my front DOOR was holding onto the snow.

In the morning I had to get out of course.

So when my woman left me by cheating on me it really upset me. But I was really hurt by the nasty series of things she did AS she left. And it was after I had put in several years of dedication to her, and her kids, trying to make things better for them. It was a big blow. Because of that I had sad, and generally negative feelings, that I was unable to shake-in a reasonable amount of time. I just couldn’t dig myself out. But I’m a man, right? I’ve already had the embarrassment of having my woman stolen, but to follow that up by “seeking help” and being prescribed medication was too much. I just couldn’t make that move. So I started looking for options .
