Speaking of computers crashing - - - - -
Solve the puzzle time.
OK - my computer froze up completely just as I finished a full page very thoughtful email memo. There it was, on the screen. I could see every word, and the cursor wouldn't move, no print screen function, no key function - no nothing. My kernels were panicing all over the place.
SO?
I did not want to have to think up all those thoughtful words again, I didn't want to copy them down on paper by hand (my handwriting is unreadable, and I detest handwriting).
What to do?
The light bulb clicked on. IDEA!
So what was that idea? Your turn to guess.
See my solution below. What's yours?
I got out the digital camera, and after experimenting a bit turned off the flash, turned off the lights in the room, and got a great close up of the screen.
I rebooted, put the flash card in the computer, viewed, cropped and printed the screen shot, and voila, there was my memo.
I seriously considered scanning it in and using the scanner/text program, but the background was a bit blue and there was poor contrast.
So, I retyped it exactly as it was on the paper and emailed it out . . . . problem solved!
