Nov. 25th, 2007 12:44 pmFollowing yesterday's post, my laptop hard drive made rather alarming crunching noises and ceased to function. Operating system not found. No boot sector.
As the laptop is four years old and as the on-board CD/DVD drive hasn't worked for the last year and a half and as I have decided that a candy-apple red washer & dryer set at a thousand bucks per is not going to feature in my life no matter how sexy it looks in the store at S & S, I bought a new laptop. It's red (didn't cost any more than "grey"). I bought a Dell this time (Vaio wasn't willing, at least online, to sell me an XP computer, Vista only) and it should be here Wednesday at the latest.
