Is Mercury in retrograde or something?

I'm not really that knowledgeable about astrology, but it seems like everytime communications and computers start getting fouled up across the board, someone who knows something about astrology comes along and says, "Oh, well Mercury is in retrograde, and that's why...."

So, is it? and how long with this last?

I have labels to prints for my flowers (fashion accessories) to sell. Jury applications to print off and send. Inventory sheets to print. Photos to upload. Other sellers with online shops are having problems with their computers, too--only different problems. And it seems like printers are having nervous breakdowns, CPUs are snubbing memory stick readers, and software gremlins are just laughing at us.
