[Ted Pomeroy]

NMGlug'ers, Is there anybody in Las Vegas area that can help or
recommend help for this user in LV? This is an older Compaq laptop
running Ubuntu 10.04. Update status is unknown.
Thank  you, Ted P.

Oh, dear.  Now the Documents File Browser and the Desktop File Browser
are frozen.  The window says:  Not responding.  Giving me the choice of
"wait" or "force quit".  I've tried waiting, no luck.  Force quit the
last time this happened didn't do any good, so I haven't tried it this
time.

It seems this is pretty serious.  Coming at a bad time, too:  in the
middle of a fundraiser.  What do you think?  Perhaps I'd just better
take it to a repair shop over here as it is prohibitive to travel to
SFe, even though you are its father.

sigh
