The bad news is that my faithful win7 laptop suddenly died several months ago. Nothing was salvageable. 😢 And due to complications created by the covid pandemic, I lost my website. It's gone forever. ðŸ˜
The not-so-bad news is that I now have a new win10 laptop that I don't like but I'm trying to learn to use it. I found an old usb stick with many of my old patterns, but only through 2016. Better than nothing, anyway. Once I get an external cd drive and figure out how to load my old software programs, I should be able to open my old files and get going again.
And the good news: I now have real, modern-day internet service! Yay! No more snail-speed dial-up service. No more hotspot service limited to a few gigabytes a month. I now have fast-speed internet service 24/7! So I'm basically starting over again, but this time I can do things faster. 😊
