A few minutes until I wake Lee up...

alexpgpWell, the young man who was supposed to be at the party last night didn't show up, so Lee ended up with this vague feeling of having been stood up. Vague, because there was no meeting of the minds between her and the young man (an old school chum from when we lived here, pre-1996), but she still felt a little bad.
The party was an enjoyable get-together. One gentleman there, a fellow named Charlie, showed me the path. He's 75 years old and quite a dancer! (I also happened to notice he got to dance with all the pretty ladies!) Among those pretty ladies was Galina, whom he took under his arm at one point in the evening's festivities and taught/danced the East Coast Swing, while I aped his footwork off to the side.
As I said, a fun evening.
* * * The reaction to my statement regarding the local computer "expert's" having placed spyware on a client's machine made me rethink what I said, to make sure I had not jumped to an possibly unwarranted conclusion. After consulting with Natalie, who worked with the machine, I conclude that I did so jump, and hereby clarity:
After the expert had worked with the machine, it was determined (by Lee) that a backdoor program existed on the machine. The client does not recall being informed of the installation of any program by the expert (though at least one - a modified Outlook Express - was so installed). It is possible the backdoor was there before the expert laid hands on the machine.
In which case, one might say the "charge" against the expert may amount only to being ignorant of the purpose of the program (which my daughter, who does not bill herself as an "expert," found).
On the other hand, it could very well be that my initial conclusion was correct.
I shall pursue this, quietly.
Which reminds me... I need to get Natalie up so we can go to the ham breakfast.
Cheers...
