life and peace.
There may not be any activity here over the weekend,
as my laptop died most horribly last night. It originally crashed Thursday night
(note to Listsibs: while looking at a site with pictures of JWK, ironically). I
was able to resuscitate it eventually, but then last night I tried to defrag the
disk and it crashed and burned. Now when I try to start it, the drive makes odd
clicking sounds and it says it can't find the OS and to reinstall the hard disk. I
will attempt to figure out how to do so tonight, if the problem hasn't
spontaneously self-corrected. (Not this time, I'm thinking.)
If I get
desperate, I may just hook the old Mac up to the modem. I'd love to replace it
with an iMac, but with the trip coming up and a credit card bill so large I'm not
going to pay it in full this month (first time in a year, probably) that's not in
the budget for the near future. Note, by the way, that our Mac is now 7 years old
and still working.
At any rate, I ought to have some spare time this
weekend, because we will certainly not be going up to the property this weekend.
I'm not all that fond of
