That seems to re-establish the connection, also have you used those free computer clean-up links I sent to you? RE: Christmas solar storm to batter Earth - senona - 12-23-2016 Let's just hope and pray that we never experience what they did in 1859, known as the Carrington Event. Quote:The flares were so powerful that "people in the northeastern U.S. could read newspaper print just from the light of the aurora," Daniel Baker, of the University of Colorado's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, said at a geophysics meeting last December. If people panic when their smartphone does not work for a day, can you imagine the chaos of a power grid or 2 being taken down during a solar flare? Sheesh almighty, that is one scenario I would not want to see. Especially if it affected hospitals, banks, emergency agencies etc etc. Obama did pass in Oct. an Executive Order for such scenario. Hopefully nothing like that will ever occur, but if it does, at least maybe our govt will be prepared to act on it and calm the public before panic ensues.

Yes, I have one on my computer, and I checked to see if I needed to defrag last week, but it was okay. If not the solar flares, maybe just the cold. It's been rather chilly here lately; in mid and low twenties at night. |
