Recovering from Virtual Laryngitis

Talk about not realizing how much we depend on the internet and email until it's down. Then a feeling of helplessness and isolation sets it. Can't talk to the outside world. Can't hear from anyone. Shut off!

Last night, I thought something might be going on. I went several hours without getting any email. I suppose that's possible, but it is very unusual. When I add in spammers, phisers, and junk emailers who are never without something to say, I thought it just might be me.

Then, this morning I realized that I had it - virtual laryngitis. I couldn't talk to cyberspace by internet. Nothiong going out. Nothing coming in. That's not a good way to begin the day, and it's not a good way to run a business.

After several agonizing minutes, reboots, and other computer gyrations, it got better. However, I'm still not convinced that my computer voice is as good as it was a couple of days ago. Time will tell.
