Butch's computer isn't working anymore. He's not a computer-y guy. He lays tile for a living, has his own contracting business. He knows lots and lots about tile and about estimating jobs and about making a profit in the tile contracting business. He is not, however, computer-oriented. He has a computer to keep his books and run his payroll and stuff. Anyway, it's been acting worse and worse and it finally stopped doing internet (a lot of contracted jobs are offered for bid online these days) and it also stopped letting them run the CD Rom drive, so they called for help.

( Less bitching than you might think, with technical advice )

Minimalist grocery update -- I had a baked potato and a thing of chili from Wendy's today for lunch because I had to be at work early to release a piece of property from a note. Anyway. OLD budget: $1786.30. Not-icky fast food: $2.10. NEW budget: 1784.20.

Unasked question: Wow, does this mean she's not bought any other food besides what she's telling us about in the grocery update things?
Yes. Except for Starbucks beverages, which don't count and which are strictly limited to two per month, what you see is every penny I spend on eatables of all sorts. There's no point doing this in a half-vast way.
