My computer

You know how some people hang on to a clunky car past its lifetime? Eventually it just starts breaking and it might be worthwhile just getting a new one, but they hang onto it?
I am starting to get that way with one of my computers. It is about 4 years old -- about the typical lifespan for computers these days. So what do I do early this year? I get a new hard drive and upgrade my ram. Yay! Much better than having to re-install all my old software.
Just a couple weeks ago, my computer wouldn't boot. As in, the operating system won't load.
By God's providence, there is a complete backup of my harddrive back at home. So come September I'll be able to get that. And a friend of mine is good with hardware (sorry to ruin it for you, but unfortunately just because one received a degree in computer science doesn't mean that person knows all there is to know about computers...or even enough to fix his own notebook).

All this to explain why:
1. There haven't been many blog posts as of late
2. The blog posts that have been posted don't have pictures
3. Any written (typed) communication with you has been brief and to the point
