My home computer has taken a dive! I think it is the video card, or memory, or motherboard.....but since it is an iMac and all in the screen I can't do anything about it, so it is in the shop. So no real update for awhile......but stay tuned Legionnaires!
Legionnaires unite to fight back the evil doers that have attacked Tom's computer! They can not, and will not stop Captain Spectre! Everyone rally to the Headquarters, and prepare to defend!
