Seems like lots of people's computer have developed cases of summer laziness. Mother Media's machine wasn't particularly glad to see her return from vacation last month (probably because she sold its cousin for parts). Sister-san's unit objects to changes in Internet service. Skeeter's office computer is just plain possessed; he comes up with bugs and errors no one has ever seen before. My old monitor would sometimes display data through a haze of magenta.
Thanks to the chipheads of the world, however, all of these problems except Skeeter's have been or will eventually be solved. Unfortunately, Skeet's employer is unlikely to spring for an e-exorcism.
