Trying to live off my iPhone was doable but also showed me how much I missed my wonderful computer. I had all these grandiose plans for it when it came back.
Now it’s back and I’m wondering what the heck to do. LOL
So, it’s Monday

My computer is still in the shop but I’m heading over there in the next couple of days to take a look and hopefully approve the work. I never thought I’d miss Word so much.
Keeping fingers crossed that by next weekend I’ll be back to normal. 🙂
The Mysterious Missing Word Program

Five years ago I bought a new iMac. I also bought Word (well, Office Suite, but Word was the most important program for me).
Last month, the internal hard drive crashed. Through the wonderful (really wonderful) efforts of Apple Support, I was able to migrate almost everything to an external hard drive.
That’s where it gets weird.
Although Word migrated, I couldn’t open it without the key code. I expected this. I had bought the one-use-only version, so the program thought I was trying to install it on a new computer. All I needed to do was input the key code and I’d be fine.
Except there was no proof anywhere that I’d purchased it. Not in my email, not in my Microsoft account online, and the wonderful store where I’d bought my iMac closed two years ago after 29 years (RIP Tekserve).
Apparently I’d been typing in a program that didn’t exist. I have no explanation for this. Of course, I’m going to buy it soon but will really miss my version. The new one isn’t thrilling me.
And there you have it, people. Ghosts exist in many forms.
