Can I rant for a minute?
Now my blankety-blank keyboard isn’t working. (I’m blowing off steam on Iggy’s laptop, which I am fortunate to have).
You may recall that my mouse was acting up, even after reboots. So, I decided to try another mouse in its place. During my manipulations, the keyboard came unplugged.
Eventually I found the hole where I should plug in the keyboard. It’s even color-coded — purple blob next to hole where purple thingie fits.
I plugged it in.
Nothing happened.
I fiddled with it.
Nothing.
I climbed the obstacle course that is our attic stairs to find another keyboard, though Iggy warned me that it might not fit.
It did fit!
But no better reaction.
I would really prefer to be on my own PC. So much more efficient for me to work on that, WHEN both keyboard and mouse cooperate.
Eh gad. And mercury isn’t even in retrograde! Sorry to hear about your PC woes…that stinks and would drive me insane as well…

The mouse problem has been solved by replacing it, but the keyboard remains uncooperative.

Did yout ry shutting the beast down, then replug everything in, say a prayer to most convenient god or goddess, then turn the sucker back on. I find this works, most days. Or at least during th months when Tuesdays and Fridays don’t fall on the 3rd, 6th, or 15th of the month, and our newspaper gets dropped off at the porch door.
