Sickness in the family

This past week or two, my home computer has been on the fritz. With no intention to trivialize real parental responsibilities, in some ways it was almost like having a sick child. I would go to work and constantly think about whether, when I got home, the computer would magically “be better.” I spent hours tending to the computer, removing hardware and software and putting them back one by one. I would have fed it chicken soup if I could.

Anyway, my fingers are crossed that I nailed the problem this morning (video card driver).
