New computer in the house!

With large thanks to many of you who made donations large and small, I have a new PC that I hope will serve me and SitG as long as the last one did (4+ years of 24/7 operation). 

It's up and running but I need to do quite a bit of program installation & configuration before the station will be back up. I hope to have music playing again later this weekend. 

I will be writing to each of you who made a donation, if I haven't done so already. Until then you have my great thanks and those of your fellow listeners. 

Stay tuned...

John

Update

Thanks to those of you who have made unsolicited donations! We may be days, rather than weeks, away from a new PC if folks keep this up!

My PC seems to have given up the ghost

Yesterday, after performing mostly-faithfully 24/7 for several years, my PC crashed and subsequently will not boot, cycling over and over without launching Windows. Even the Windows 7 install/repair disk crashes with a blue screen which makes me think it's hardware and I will likely end up buying a new PC. This will take me at least a few weeks to allocate funds, purchase and configure. So I would expect that Sugar in the Gourd will be down for a while, at least through early October.

Thanks for your patience,

John
