I can explain my true-life horror story

Many of you are aware of my brief struggle to get to this board.

I post from the library, which now has new PCs.
But at the time, it had old computers, using Windows XP.
So this is what happened.
I wasn't recieving the e-mail due to the unavailability (at the time) of the latest Windows.
One of the most horrifying nightmares known to man.
