...my Yahoo messenger that ist kaputt, or is it a widespread problem, I wonder?

I junked MSN Messenger because of its unreliability. Now they've teamed up with Yahoo, I'm getting Yahoo IM problems.

Doesn't take a genius to work out what the problem is.

Unless, of course, it's something that I've inadvertently done whilst blindly fiddling around with settings, not knowing what the hell I'm doing really but blagging my way through my reputation in the family as being the one who 'knows about computers'.

Hah! As the old adage goes, 'Just because she spends all day on a computer, it doesn't mean she knows how to program it.'

OK, I just made that up. Ooh. Wonder if it'll work its way into everyday use.

Ah. I've got to do a re-install and probably a re-boot, according to an esteemed correspondent.

Brb.
