haha! power at last

Thanks Mikie, You give me too much credit for computer knowledge: I do not know what "the Modern Screen" is ... ever notice (may be a statement on my failing old man vision) how much "rn" and "m" look alike? Well on my font and size, which is the default on comphelp dialog. I have not seen the subject problem repeated. But the slow responses to my keying in still goes on for several minutes after a boot up, again several times a day. Suppose it is Avira or some other "good thing" the CUP is really pumping on some task.

I am having the same problem with the same model tv. Magnavox offers no help at all because the tv is older than 2008. I guess they only appreciate their customers if you buy a new tv every 2 years. I won't buy another Magnavox. I hate bad customer service.

While a power interruption of a few hours isn't of great consequence to people with a freezer ... longer periods can be rather hair-rising. I've thought that it might be good idea for people where they have power interruptions from time to time to gather a group of, say, four to six or so, to share in buying a generator, possibly of somewhat better quality and capacity than one person would wish to, alone, to move from house to house when the power is out, to keep the food in the freezers intact. Some people where I visited with a generator wanted me to fire up their furnace, but most have an unbreakable connection to the power box and I was unwilling to risk the possibility of the main switch getting reconnected inadvertently, thus pushing power back out on to a line that the linemen understood to be dead, possibly with drastic consequences. Where codes allow, I think that it would be advisable for people to have a push-and-twist connection between the power box and the furnace. When the power is down for an extended period, most people are not going to their place of employment, so would be free to move the generator from member's house to member's house during the day and night ... or even to help an outsider, should they so choose. It would be necessary to have at least one member who had an establishment large enough to store the generator without its being a nuisance. Such a plan would provide cheap insurance for people with a substantial amount of expensive food in their freezers ... and have you noticed how the price of that food has escalated in recent times ... while the wage increases earned by most ordinary workers have been much more ... meagre? Does anyone foresee a substantial change in that scenario, any time soon? ole joyful
