As everyone knows, I've been in Denville, NJ since June 20th.
My home computer has been turned off since I left Lancaster on that day. I felt compelled to turn it off, because of the frequent thunderstorms in Lancaster in the summer. I had thought I was going home the weekend of July 4th, but, on the advice of my mom's doctors, that didnt happen.
I had my computer off for eleven days during the first leg of this marathon in June, and all was fine when I turned it on upon my return home on the weekend of June 18th. I'm not sure now if I'm going home Saturday, Monday, or.. if God Forbid my mom has to be hospitalized again, longer than that.
By that point, my computer will have been off for six weeks. The computer is nine years old.
I know that six weeks is an eternity for a computer to be off. When I go to turn it on this weekend, next week, or whenever, would it be realistic for me to expect problems turning it on and rebooting it, where it may crash, and not work at all, or should it just turn on, and work like normal after warming up?
I dont know if any forum members have ever had their computers turned off for that long, but, as everyone knows, I have an unusual situation with my mom being treated up here, and having to stay so far away from home, for so long.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Mitch
