Peggy's Computer Saga  
Peggy's computer saga, week #6
Although my PDA died 2 weeks ago, and we supposedly erased all its data... I heard alarms ringing and found the PDA lying in my desk drawer, its screen still white blank, but lit up. It is mysteriously still ringing alarms for my appointments. Perhaps this is the after-life of its soul??? Evidence of life after death?"
Meanwhile I'm protecting my right index finger from arthritis while I sort through 3,500 contact entries (many people entered 5 times, to salvage all the important data on YOU!! so i can keep in touch with everyone. Tedious, but a bit refreshing to meditate on all the old and new friends we have through ISI Santa Cruz. If I can keep in touch with some of you then the arthritis will be worth it (hey CE people when will you invent a new mouse that doesn't rely solely on the right index finger for everything???

==================

(with all my calendar/tasks, backup of contact data) thanks my new chat-buddy Vinal (at a help desk somewhere in India) I miraculously hotsynched the data back on my computer just before he was telling me to reformat it, including erasing all the PDA data.
MONDAY: I got my new iPhone working!! yay (I debated between upgrading to a Blackberry vs. Iphone, but after I learned about the ATT cell phone tower on top of Baskin Engineering! that clinched it. it now works grrrrrrrrreat!
TUESDAY My computer replacement hard drive#2 died.
WEDNESDAY, computer still in shop with "rush" order, I'm typing emails with my pinky on the iphone all day.

Many apologies again for slowness of ISI work while I press forward with this important work.
Thanks for your patience!

"We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in teh death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies"
(2 Corinthians 4:8-10)

""Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us."
(Philippians 3:13-14)
