An informal message from Brenda: What happened to the music menu?!?

Ahh . . . very good question.  Here are the facts:

• Wayne's computer has been sick and in the "computer hospital" (i.e. not in the music office) for over a week!
• Donna's computer had a terrible virus until today, but now is feeling better, as much as computers can feel.
• I had a (human) virus.

The results were that the music menu could not travel from Wayne's computer (which was entirely absent), to Donna's computer (which in addition to being on an ancient operating system had a virus and was not functioning), and then to my laptop (I was sick anyway) from whence it is usually launched into the great wide world of the internet.  There it is.  Our very own series of unfortunate events but not even unfortunate enough to be worthy of its own movie.

Now I am happy to report that Wayne's computer has come back into the fold with Windows 7 (rather than XP, hurrah!), Donna's computer is now well and moving at a normal pace for a computer of its vintage running XP, and I was able to receive and post at least the Psalm for you, in jpg and PDF form.  The MP3 will follow if available.

Thank you for bearing with us through this tough week.  We were doing our best and look forward to providing you with the menu and other resources again next week.   :)

In the meantime, and this is an unofficial message from Brenda, if anyone would like to donate two new fast computers to the Music Ministry to help Wayne and Donna, I know they would be well loved.  Even last year's model when you upgrade your computer would be terrific.  Wayne is still on a laptop that, well, is not terribly new (my polite version -- frankly, it looks like the laptop I used for my doctorate in the mid 1990s!).  Donna's computer is still on Windows XP and has rather antiquated hardware. Wayne and Donna could really use updated equipment.  They do not know that I am writing this, but if you felt inclined to help them out before I am (possibly) made to remove this audacious message, I know your donated computers would be put to excellent use.

Gratefully yours,

Brenda
