[Nfb-krafters-korner] coaster class...

[qubit]

Hi all --
I had a major computer crash 2 days ago that trashed a bunch of files in my 
Outlook Express database, so I had to completely remove all of it and 
restore from backup.
It took until just a few minutes ago to get back online.  I lost a few 
things but think I'll survive...
Meanwhile, yesterday evening after waiting on the wrong conference line for 
someone to show up at the coaster class, I read in my email later that the 
number was changed.  I don't know why it changed.  The line I connected to 
was empty and registered.
I wonder if people could call class participants rather than email about 
last minute changes.  I was kind of looking forward to class.
Oh, and Terry, I got the squares and needles you sent.
I still plan to use them if I can get the instructions. I read the 
attachment on Terry's early mail but had questions about it.

Anyway, if anyone else gets the message that Outlook Express can save space 
by compacting folders, and starts crunching on your OE mail folders, DO NOT 
interrupt the process, no matter how long it takes.  My mother didn't know I 
was in the middle of this process and powered off my computer.  When it came 
back up, well you know the rest. But I can't blame it all on her -- after I 
started the process of  restoring the files, I accidently overwrote my 
inbox, which was not empty. So I lost some recent messages.

I'm tired.
This computer is possessed.

Happy krafting.
