Lap top died yesterday,
totally deceased,
too expensive a hard wear failure to consider a repair.
Got taken out this morning by my Darling, Super Nice, Generous, Fantastical John and now have a brand spanking new laptop.
Just spent the afternoon setting it up and loading all my bits and pieces on to the beast. Thank goodness for all the backups I used to hate doing onto my external HD.
I will say though, it's was a pleasant surprise to see how much you could do on the internet with a Kindle. Tortuously slow, but doable in an emergency.
