I'm about to vent. Feel free to slide on by.

So that shiny HP I had? That's what, maybe just over a year old?

Can't get it to turn on. It powers up, enough for a blink code, but yeah. Nothing. Not even a BIOS screen. Apparently this isn't uncommon.

New baby arrives today. Just a little longer. ::holds breath and tries to wait::

David has managed to finagle a way for my poor dying computer to work, however temporarily. Thus, everything I love has now been backed up onto the external drive. \o ( Read more... )
