AND . . . I am back

Did you miss me? Yesterday my student was not in school, so Bob and I went running around. We shopped at Sam's Club, and did some other things. When we got home we discovered that power had gone out for maybe less than a second. Enough to disturb one clock. . . and damage my USB wifi connector (dongle). At least that was the message I got when I tried to log in. Oh, shoot. And I still had not taken the laptop to the shop. I worked today. Filled in for others after our Headstart planning time. There was an hour long gap, so I ran my laptop to the computer repair place. I explained all of what had gone wrong with it this summer, and told him I thought it needed a factory reset. He said he did not think we needed to go to that extreme. Long story short he had to get in and had to have me get a code on my phone for him. He was finished by the time I was ready to go home. He had typed up everything he did. I was going to go buy a new USB connector tomorrow. I came in to the desk to make room to open my laptop and log in. . . AND my little USB connector had healed itself, or whatever. I am on my desktop right now. I will use it until it completely dies. He says it likely is not worth uprgrading the hardware so I can install Windows 11 . I wanted the laptop fixed anyway, and yesterday was payday, so it is. I have it ready to use for Thanksgiving out of town.
