I've had no computer for days. First the CD/DVD drive went wonky. The on the 15th, coinciding with the eclipse over India, my BIOS informed me that disk failure was imminent. I replaced the hard drive. Now, the power light blinks at me stupidly, and all I can say is "Thank God for portable Firefox!" Because public computers suck, the PCs at this library are slow (and have Netscape 7.1 installed, fer Pete's sake), and they're even slower running IE ('though even that is quicker than starting up Netscape).
I'd write more, but hey! My half-hour is probably about up, and I still have to find a cheap computer and make a choice between Vista Home Premium and Ubuntu.
If any of you people love me, you'll load up Netflix, put on a really good episode of Xena, and let me listen through the telephone. That, or find cheap computers online and e-mail me the links.
The latter option would probably be more beneficial, but the former would certainly be appreciated, if for entirely different reasons.
