We had laptop issues a couple days after arriving that finally got resolved as of this morning.

Laptop was working fine for the first couple days, and then the camera stopped working. We took it in to a local computer repair store, but they said the camera was "beyond repair". They were able to get the laptop past the lockscreen, which was farther than we were able to do. We got the laptop back, but then Microsoft decided it didn't like Ryah's password. We left the computer alone for a couple days, because if we hadn't we would have chucked it into the field behind our Airbnb.

Now was arrive to this morning. We attempted to call Microsoft, but there automated machine kindly told us to go away. After doing some sleuthing on the internet, and finding similar issues, we were able to log in to Microsoft again! Hallelujah!

We check our account, someone dropped the ball, it was never closed. At some point today we'll have to call and see what's up. Also, we have a pending gas bill for something that's supposed to come out in July, guess we'll be making another phone call for that too.  Automated systems are a good idea in theory, until the people running the systems don't hit the bu...
