I fixed a friend's computer this afternoon - the AT&T tech replaced his modem/router, but that wasn't the problem. He said it was probably the Ethernet port, so I ordered a USB Ethernet adapter and was able to set it up today. Work like this is nerve-wracking for my high-functioning brain injured friend; it was one thing to add a new cable, but his computer needs the BIOS adjusted (it tries to boot to the A drive so requires some extra steps to start it.) That was too much for him for yesterday, so next visit. While on that side of the county I stopped at another friend's house for a grocery sack full of canning jars she saved for me.

My computer friend has some incredible early American antiques and also a lot of old technology around his apartment, so I offered to let him know the next time I'm going to go by the city e-waste disposal place and I'll stop by and pick up old printers, computer, CRT monitor, etc. Decluttering for friends can be tricky. He doesn't hoard this stuff, he's just very disorganized (high functioning brain injury).

Are you feeling better, Charmion?
