Having to write tonight in an unfamiliar realm. I made the mistake of using a couple of facets of Windows 8.1 in an incursion with the result that Microsoft caught my browser, Chrome, and replaced it with Explorer. Try as I might, I found Explorer had lodged itself as my default and locked out any change to anything else. Inadvertently, I became a hostage in an internecine war between Microsoft and Google. All my bookmarks were confiscated and being translated into a foreign language and I was unable to write my blog yesterday.
After an evening, most of a night and all morning searching, I was finally able to find and retrieve my bookmarks, now called favorites. Such a strange new language. But as most hostages do, I will make myself comfortable and wait for a rescue, a truce or prisoner exchange and make occasional attempts to escape. With concentrated effort, I should be fluent in Explorer as I have access to communication with Google people here who can help. For now, I'm stuck with Yahoo for searching. Need to replace that. People here use Bing. I think Bing is the bottom tier of search engines. I really miss Google.
