Ahh, I got the Black Screen Blues and I thought I had paid my dues My puter isn’t but two years old way to young to ever fold I wrote a poem that was my best yet only a few lines left, for it to set I looked with pride at what I wrote then I saw a Black Screen Revolt I don’t attempt to save each line not and keep my sanity of mind This calamity is like a jungle cat making me feel like a cornered rat I type a line and hunch my back expecting to see a screen of black Then I see, black on white spelling the words that I did type With lightning speed, I rush to finish then the Black that I see with grimace Word Recovery saved the day to let me finish this simple say If the next two stanzas you don’t see you'll know Black Screen finished me |

Oh, I truly know how serious this is, but you've got me laughing so hard I'm coughing! Darn cold! Dang laryngitis... but it IS hilarious... time for a new 'puter! |

LOL, we are all in a mood tonight, I think..My computer wants to just skip letters and spell oddly, and take 5 minutes to show me a poem. But no black screen yet  Sandra |

This is cute...and I hate to even think I will face the day that happens to me.... Maybe that is why I have three comps... three monitors...But my son would not understand as I hustle his out of his room and into mine... |

Ahh, hmm, thank you, Sis, for your compassion at my plight..very gentle smile Ahh, Sandra, then your computer must be a relative of mine. I scanned something one day, and it left half of the words out. The worst part was that it is only one or two per sentence..Thank you for your concerns, sigh...very gentle smile Ahh, Noah, the recovery only gave me PART of my words..I had to wing the rest. Thank you for being here..gentle smile Nancy, sweet one, mine doesn't even give me three seconds, it just stares back at me like a black hole..Thank you for the comments though...very gentle smile Hmmm, Magnus, they say things come in threes, so.....good luck...gentle smile OH THANKS, JM, just what I needed to hear. I KNOW about your puter...very gentle smile Eagle, you better watch it, they are tricky fellows, they sneak up on you. Thanks for being here, I will send mine to you for a good lesson then..gentle smile |

Logan - you've captured it all in this writing about the black screen. I think it must be the gremlins. It's funny how they go from mine to others all over the place! BC |

Bill you keep those gremlins away from my computer.....mmmmm unless you bring them personally Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Logan~ My fella's got the 'black screen blues' Oh my goodness ... does that just ooze~ I thought perhaps he needed to retire ... but I stroked the coals to new-embered fire~ For a 'keeper' that's my job to do ... Just don't sing those 'black screen blues' ... Well, sometimes a *LittleGoose* lays a great BIG egg~  ... or :wonk:Now that won't do maybe I'VE got the 'black screen blues' ? Love you~ *Hugs* n' *grins* ~*GooseGotLoose*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (01-04-2002 12:30 AM).] |
