Dell Brick

Well, it had to happen eventually. My desktop computer bricked out sometime Saturday night. Brought it to a shop for a free estimate Sunday: the motherboard was fried. The guy didn't recommend the expense of replacing it. It's great how things seem to break down when I can least afford to replace them.

I've got my little writing netbook to keep me online for now. Replacement computer should arrive sometime next week, and then I can begin the process of restoring files. Hopefully that will go smoothly enough. My abilities will be a bit hobbled till then.
