What this computer really needs, right now, is a Doctor.
A few weeks back, my shiny new laptop went ka-boom (or, turned off and wouldn't come back on no matter what). Luckily (ha!) it was right before Thanksgiving so my parents were able to bring me my old desktop when they came to visit. They also took my laptop with them to some place in St. Louis that Toshiba referred me to.
My dad took it in the other day. The bloke at the shop said it sounded like the motherboard had gone. This, it is not good. I just hope that it can be fixed and/or replaced in a Very Timely Manner. Like now-ish. Cos my desktop is starting to act even funnier than it did before I replaced it. I fear for my sanity if it goes too.
