    I guess bluetooth keyboard can work with an iPad but I only have a kindle fire and an android tablet.  My phone is an iPhone but that is the only Apple thing I have.

    I'm a murderer.

    Yesterday, I found ants swarming over my Keurig and all around my coffee making area in the kitchen.  Tiny tiny little ants with red thoraxes and clearish bellies.  I've been to this party before, and am always well prepared with treats.  I got out a box of Terro bait traps, cut the end off one of them, then put it next to the coffee maker and then ambled off to work (I sometimes work from home).  About 3 hours later I came back and saw the ants had found the bait and were excitedly having a Woodstock-like celebration all around the area.  They had four stages and rock bands setting up on big (big for them) turntables for rapid-fire performances.  I saw little bazaars, vendors selling exoskeleton waxes or antennae enhancement devices.  Others were making elephant-ears, taco salads, those little sweet-and-sour shrimps, and chocolate covered ants.  No, wait, not that last one, it must have been aphids.

    Anyway, the celebration was for the veritable 7-lane freeway of ants going down my cabinet, out of the kitchen, and into the dining room where I'm sure they had found an access point for ingress and egress from my house.  Along the way, they had erected three rest areas complete with MacDonald's, Dunkin' Donuts, Starbuck's, and Nathan's franchises.  There were also two toll booths, a lookout point on a windowsill, and a suspension bridge.

    Terro works great.  They literally DO take it back to the queen, who is not a kindly-looking grandmotherly woman like the Queen of England.  No, Ant Queen is more like the Queen of Hearts ("Off with their heads!"), or the head of a mobster organization ("I want 'em dead!  D-E-D, I tellya, dead!").  But like the Q of E or Tony Soprano, every ant must pay tribute to the boss.

    It has been about 30 hours now, which I think translates to 8.5 ant-years.  An entire civilization has been wiped out; obliterated.  The little baby ant day care centers are gone.  The amphitheaters are gone.  The jousting matches, with brave warrior ants astride aphids, these are no more.  The dance halls are no longer filled with six-legged Lindy-Hoppers (which is a rare treat to see), and the rugby fields are devoid of any signs of sport.  Saddest of all, the tattooed-ant-lady at the ant fair has not reported to work, which is very unlike her.  Of course, the fair is gone too, so there'd be nobody for her to report to anyway.

    I am a murderer.

    I've killed thousands just so that I can make and sip my morning coffee in peace.  Without a hundred spectators standing around my Keurig's water tank like a skyscraper-sized water-cooler, shooting the breeze about the politics of the prior day.  And without thousands of freeloaders eating my morning cereal and afternoon cookies.

    I am a murderer.  And yet I feel...

    ...quite okay with this!  devil

    Great story! smiley  But does the ASPCA know about you? https://www.aspca.org/ wink

    Have you considered that the ants were in the process of destroying your Keurig in order to save the environment by eliminating yet another source of those bazillions of empty non-biodegradable Keurig K-Cup pods? surprise You may have destroyed their civilization but the destruction of ours is well on the way too.  But as long as you're happy paying about $50 for a pound of coffee then perhaps "it's all good". indecision

    ...endeds up getting to bed late  last night (early this morning) as I ended up caught in some project issues.  Didn't turn in until nearly 03:30. Was woken up around 08:00 by the resident yap dog (one of those little hyper annoying canines) and couldn't get back to sleep so muddles through the day on about four and a half hors of sleep. When the other people finally came ome and it shut up I tried to take a nap but by then had been awake too long.

    On top of that the kitchen was a mess again, both sinks filled with dishes, glasses, and pans (none of it mine) after only a day.  When I got back home later, the kitchen hadn't been touched so I couldn't cook the dinner I planned to have. Fortunately I had picked up a pizza just in case.

    I really need to win that Megabucks Lotto so I can get my own place again. I'm not much of a dog person unless they are really mellow and cool. Most of those "micro dogs" (like the one here) are not. How can such a small animal be so bloody noisy and obnoxious?

    In a hissy serpent mood myself and it doesn't help that the weather makes every joint and bone in my body hurt like mad.

    ...and yes, I was born in the Year of the Snake.

    I understand the annoyance factor of those yappy little rats.  I don't understand how people who have those vicious little cretins can stand the noise. frown Yes they look pretty in photos, yes they're all wiggley and warm but they need a cork in both ends and a couple of quaaludes in their food. surprise There should be signs on the street declaring "Yappy Rat Free Zone" around residential areas.   The house next door to me 200 feet down the street has five !!! of them and still they're an annoyance. angry  After over 60 years of encountering those types of little beasts I have never learned to love them.  If one wants something small and warm, one should get a cat. enlightened

    ...agreed on that last statment.

    ....I have the same issue where I live and there seems to be no end to it. I have to put everything that isn't already in a can or otherwise sealed into plastic containers.  I would love to use those bait traps however as there are other animals (including the mindless yap dog and it's "big sister" which eat their own as well as the cats' poo on occasion), they are a "no no" in this house.

    I can relate.  I live in a southern state where we also have "palmetto bugs".  You folks up north would think they're big cockroaches.  Big enough to put a saddle on.  Some might be big enough to hitch to a trailor for RVing.  surprise  Yeah, it's like that!

    i only have 2 write able dvds on hand.  i can try to fix the empty ini file and burn to new dvd.  but if they hid files, this isn't going to work.  there's a 5th disk.  only one shot at completing this tnite.  after 10:pm  why oh why this happens to me.  need buppy hugs 

    A couple of us advised you against paying for any fixes for something you already paid for that should work out of the box.  Stop killing your budget and sanity with this and complain to the original place of purchase...before it's too late!

    usbs and hdmi send power down the cables.  i have one usb hard drive that has 2 usb ports on the cable, it needs the extra juice.

    My point is that you paid for a complete computer with Windows installed.  What you got is not what you paid for.  Don't spend more money on it, get your money back and get something from a reputable dealer.  Especially if you used a credit card, you should do this before the protection period is over!
