06/13/2007: "My laptop is dead"

I've been having problems lately with the laptop that I was given in January, and despite all that I tried to do, it died last night. A friend of my helped me to move some of my files (such as the Helio files I have been working on) off to an external harddrive last night with a LINUX disk, and then we attempted to reformat and reinstall windows. We were unsuccessful, and eventually the computer stopped responding at all. I am hoping that the harddrive is the only problem and that I may be able to replace it soon, but there are no guarantees, and money is even tighter than usual until my husband goes back to work in August.

All of this means that I am without a computer for the forseeable future. I may be able to get on-line occasionally at the college, as I am now, to check my mail and such, but there is no guarantee of when. I'll keep an eye out for messages here for the next six hours or so, and then I am to the VA tomorrow, and may be able to check back for a few minutes on Friday.

This means that any corrections, communications or validations are also delayed indefinitely, as I don't have reliable enough access, though I will do what I can when I can spend a few hours in town. There are a few ladies who have helped me out with validations that I am going to try to contact to see if they can pick up the slack while I get this sorted out. I apologise to anyone that this inconveniences.
