I spoke too soon, but thank you John!

I settled into working on the computer in the upstairs bedroom and things were going along fine until suddenly I got the spinning ball syndrome again! So bizarre!  Why? I gave up and went back to reading O Pioneers. But later I got an email from John with a suggestion: go somewhere else, turn off Airport and  Bluetooth, and then go back to the house and try using the computer. So I did that, and by golly, it seems to be working! How does John know to suggest something like that? Anyway, thank you, John. If I can do computer tasks at the house and just go to the library to download email, that will be like being at home. No problem!
