Good luck on the computer. patience is a virtue, but it comes too slow!!!

Guess what! The strangest thing happened. The computer wouldn't boot at ALL, and I had to go to the "rescue screen" at startup. It didn't give me an option to restore to any previous point, the only option I had was to fully reset. That meant losing all the installed software, and more importantly, all those thousands of documents, family photos, and other "user files" that I had accumulated on the computer for the last few years.

So... I was speaking at a youth ministry event this weekend, and I wasn't even home to work on my computer on Friday or today. So I contacted my PC-fixin genius friend, and he said to bring it to church on Sunday. I came home this afternoon and saw that the computer was fixed.
What.
The.
Heck.
Oh, let me mention that the computer guy did NOT come and fix the computer. And my wife hadn't done it either. No one else was here... so again... what the heck?

Let me share my joy in one small way, by showing you some coins. Here are a handful from 1916. A French 10 centimes, iron German 10 pfennig, Indian one-twelfth anna, Peruvian centavo, and a Swedish 2 ore.

[uthminsta]

Oops, forgot this purdy straggler. A nice Netherlands two-and-a-half cent.

Glad to see you back up and running
Blessings to you!

[uthminsta]

Thanks. I've backed up all my files to Google Drive and Dropbox, so now I'm just wondering if this hard drive is gonna crash and burn or not.
So anyway, here's 1915. German pfennig, Hungarian 10 filler, and a cleaned Mexican centavo.

How about one a little better condition than the fifteens! Here's a nice 1914 Guernesey eight doubles.

You're gonna see more and more of those British coins as we go, at least from my collection. I've held off for the first 100 years, but eventually that's the only stuff I have for a lot of years. Here's a handful from 1912: two from Ceylon, two from Germany, Greek 20 lepta, French 5 centimes, and a Serbian 20 para.

1906 Mexico. A couple varieties of the centavo, and a nearly slick dos centavos. I like old Mexican copper/bronze.
