Well, my computer died last Monday evening. I was delaying HW3 on "Computational Investing, Part 1". I had completed the framework and was ready to begin testing. I went down to watch some TV. When I woke up the power was off. The next morning I tried to turn on my computer but it wouldn't turn on. I didn't have time to work on setting up my secondary computer. I hadn't turned it on for about a year. I began setting it up this morning but wanted my virus software enabled before I did much. I followed the instruction and it lead me to best buy where I paid for the subscription then it lead me to a second page and it looked like another step in the process but it was for an extension of the subscription for my parents but they don't have a computer any more. I called best buy to get this handled and after getting bounced around and a couple of hours it looked like it was going to get handled. I had to leave. When I returned Trend Micro had installed a trial version. So here I am having just paid for the subscription renewal and for a second subscription renewal for a copy I didn't want (good through April 2015) and I have a trial version good for 30 days on my machine.
Well, I've got to reinstall a bunch of software and get my "Comp Investing" homework done so I'm not going to be very happy when I get to work on Monday and have to deal with more computer problems. Ah well. I'm glad I documented the installation of the "Comp Investing" software on my blog. I'll go back and find it and update to the latest versions as I do. When I do I'll provide an updated version. At least I have SQL Server installed on this machine where I couldn't get it installed on my other machine. This machine is faster but has slower graphics. I may have to do something about that.
