The compuker died this afternoon. Sat down to use it and it was stuck on the screen saver. So I did a cold shut down. While shutting down it went to the user page, as I call it, where you click on the user's name to open it up, then it shut down. Now it won't start up. Nothing! Just like the power cord is unplugged. It is drawing a little power because when I crawled into the darkness under the desk to unplug and then re-plug it in, I saw a small spark in the plug when I plugged it back in. I did this several times and saw a small spark every time it was plugged back in. That's my redneck way of checking for power! Anyway, it's going to the computer doc tomorrow. It's five years old now so I'm expecting the worst but you never know. Jim
