Yep, that's what it actually took to motivate me to do this

So, this morning my laptop (aka my normal computer) went and threw a hissy-fit of epic proportions.

And by hissyfit, I mean it just stopped workingAnd as you can sort of guess from that statement, there were very many ways is which this was just not good

Ugh!! I hate it when computers throw a hissy fit!

[drakyndra]

Yeah, it was not the Best Day Ever.

I should be grateful I didn't lose anything of vital importance when it gave up on me.

That was lucky 'cos when mine threw a hissy fit a couple of months ago, I lost *everything* on the hard drive (luckily I had most of my fic backed up on a memory stick)... I was not a happy camper!

[drakyndra]

That's the magic of an external hard drive!

Then again, Lancelot didn't have a real lot of memory, relatively speaking. Nameless New Computer has about four times as much.

There are some fairly fannish desktops here: http://iconfactory.com/freeware/desktop?page=1

They're all 1920x1200, but they should fit your screen alright, seeing as they're widescreen.

I shall have to browse at my leisure.

Have you heard of foxmarks? It backups your bookmarks and is awesome, especially when shifting computers. (You *do* use Firefox, right? :D) Maybe late for getting links off the laptop, but could help keep the laptop and desktop in sync when they're both running. :)

Also, no names, sorry. I has the dumb.

[drakyndra]

That will be useful. Well, once I get teh borked laptop back and thus can do things with it.

And yes, I use Firefox. Duh.
