I'm stupid.
I have to stop pretending to know what I'm doing. Sure, it was a fluke that I didn't blow up the house when I tampered with our water heater. Maybe I took more credit than I should have and now this is karma biting me square in the ass. Tonight I tried to "fix" a problem I've been having with Becky's laptop. Mind you, everything I've ever done on a computer is stored on that laptop - pictures, documents dating back to Fredonia, anything ever done for any of the bands I've been in (flyers, demos, websites), about 3000 songs, a few dozen movies, etc. Right now I'm on my Ubuntu computer. Why? Because Becky's laptop is dead. Not in a low battery kind of dead. In a no screen, no lights, no humming dead. So that's probably bad.
