Hard Times

Terrible ticking noises started to come from my laptop late last night. A conversation with a kind Indian man at tech support confirmed that the hard drive is shot.

I back up data semi-regularly, but I did lose a few things. I lost some blog ideas and I lost some more personal documents (letters written but not sent, child pornography, etc.).

Post should remain semi-regular even without my own functioning cpu. Advice is accepted, particularly if I should buy a new laptop now, wait for this new Windows program to come out, what not to buy, and so on.

Wait until the new Windows comes out. Then, we can buy laptops together! Then we'll have laptop contests to see which model is superior. Loser plays catcher for a month.

no point waiting for new windows to come out, besides, that'll be at least a year and a bit away. Buy a new laptop now, and then (and this is the really clever bit) when the new windows comes out - Install it!!

That's magic :P

If you buy an i-Mac at the KU Student Union, you get a mini ipod FOR FREE. And we know the quality of those ipods...
