Youngest daughter asked today if the desktop computer was past its expiration date. I believe it just might be.
As I mentioned yesterday, the mouse was unresponsive. I got a new mouse, and the installation of Rosetta Stone was going along smoothly this morning until I hit the "enter activation code" page. When I tried to enter the code, I couldn't type a zero. Hmmm, so apparently the keyboard was on the fritz. Back to Staples for a keyboard. Uh oh. Still no zero. No one either. Wait a minute. I thought computers ran on ones and zeroes. I find it a little ironic that the computer will accept everything I type in the keyboard except ones and zeroes.
If any of you techie types have any idea how to elicit cooperation, I'd appreciate it. My tried-and-true method of removing privileges and assigning chores doesn't seem to work on the computer as well as it does with kids.

Conversations are so much nicer when more than one person does the talking. :-) Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts; I'd love to hear from you!
