April Fools Day Makes Fools of Us All

Whether it sneaks up on us unaware or we face it head on with fear and trepidation, the first of April comes and goes every year just like clock work. This year like the last, rumors of catastrophic viral attacks ran rampant for weeks before it arrived. Like many others, I hesitated to log in this morning. Heck, I was nervous about logging in yesterday, after all it was April 1 somewhere on this globe long before my computer clock picked up on the change of date.

Yesterday, I dutifully backed up my critical files to a flash drive, create a restore point in Windows, verified that my operating system and virus scan app were up to date, crossed my fingers and went to bed.

This morning I blissfully logged on and checked my mail before my brain had even registered the date.

Thank God. I'm still here. My computer hasn't blown up in my face and the screen has not turned blue or black.

Another April 1 survived...........so far.
