The computer is dead. Long live the computer.
Heya. Brief update from the comp lab to notify all and sundry that the nice ol' computer that I got for my eighteenth birthday a good 6+ years ago has finally decided to kick the bucket. (Which is OH so lovely, because I have a freakin' fic on there that I haven't finished. Grumble. At least I have a good chunk of it saved elsewhere, but I digress...)
Now, the timing of the ol' comp's decision to kick the bucket coulda been a bit more fortuitous, as I was planning on buying a new one in a month anyway, I just wanted to wait until I had *all* the money for it, but, hey... Looking at it, I'm actually gonna get the computer I was planning on getting for a good 200 or so bucks cheaper than when I originally looked, so... timing is actually rather fortuitous after all. I just had to move a bit sooner than I had expected.
So, the long and short of this is...
Don't expect to see me around for a couple of days. On account of I have a Very Dead Computer, and, alas, they have yet to perfect Instantaneous Shipping on new systems.
Such is life.
But, on the bright side... Iiiii'm gonna haaave a shiiiny new coooompie.
Ahem. Toodles!
PS. I have suddenly come to the realization that I have now lost e-mails I've had on there since '99. MAN, that sucks. Seriously.
