If it's any consolation, if you can't bring your computer back to life, you can buy an enclosure for your hard drive that will then hook up to any computer with a USB port. You can then retrieve the files off of it.
Re: The fever - are you hydrated enough? I know it's not even remotely connected, but after I had both kids I was running a mild fever. Nurse said "Oh, that's dehydration. Drink this." After a quart or two of water I was "normal."

My "Total Fuckup Backup" is to keep my important docs on GoogleDocs. There's enough security there for my taste, and the upshot is I can do updates at any computer that gets on-line.
That would be wonderful and we'd be happy to pay for parts at the very least (if he doesn't mind waiting until I get back to work).
We do want to be sensitive to your personal situation, however, and would feel kind of uncomfortable if we called at the wrong time. Could you ask her to give us a call to let us know what would work for him?

I'm WAH tomorrow, so all you need to do is tell me what would be a good time for you, and we'll be there with bells on...or Belles on, depending on how you want to look at it!
I'll bring Paul, because I'm absolutely clueless, and it'll be a good trial run for him because we have to go to University of Pennsylvania on Wednesday, and he hasn't been out of the house since the last surgery.
Thank you guys so, so much--this is a terrific help.
