Update from the planet of broken computers, yes, after months of death rattles, it seems to have finally succumbed and gone to the big laptop junkyarn in the sky.
The biggest issue I face right now is gaining access to my e-mail (which resides on my computer) so that i can ship all the yarn that's ready to go out -- the names/addresses/orders are in my e-mail folders. So, if you're waiting for something from me, I'm so sorry, please be patient, I'll try to get this sorted out tomorrow or the next day and get your yarn to you as soon as computerly possible. bah.
Let me tell you, if computers do ever rise up and attempt a hostile takeover (which I fully expect to happen in my lifetime), with all the curses I've hurled at mine for the last 2.5 days, they're gonna take me down right after Steve Jobs and bill gates. blarmy.
Posted by jacey at October 11, 2007 11:19 PMMy laptop is about 5 years old and a ticking time bomb. I just backed up like...everything the other day out of sheer paranoia. Now this post makes me think the universe is preparing me. *shudder*
Good luck over there!

Posted by: elizabeth at October 13, 2007 10:34 AMI agree, a hostile takeover is definitely in our future. But I'm not scared, I can easily take my weak ass piece of machinery sitting on my desk.
