Ok, evidently my laptop no longer likes the library because I'm at McDonalds and able to access the internet to post this.
Unfortunately it's one of those McD's with a kids play room & the power outlet stations are next to it - why? (shakes head). So can't make journalist calls, but will be able to download releases/upload. Might move to Starbucks as it might be quieter.
So - any thoughts on why my laptop doesn't like my library any longer?
Cheers.
