What is the worst thing that could happen to someone 2 weeks before Nanowrimo starts? Yes you guessed it my laptop blew a gasket today. It is not fixable, the motherboard is toast. An apparent defect of HP's DV computers. We have an old desktop that I am using now. It has Window ME on it and is slower than molasses but it is something. I was able to retireve all the data from my hard drive so I did not lose all my pictures and music.
Now comes the search for a new machine. I like the idea of having a new computer but I do not like the idea of deciding on one. There are so many choices out there its mind boggling. I probably won't be blogging as much till I get a new machine.
Yikes! That sucks! Hope you find something to your liking. I wish I had a laptop... it would certainly make Nano easier...

Oh man. I hope you find something you like soon.
ReplyDeleteIf you want some computer picking out help, call me. Also, don't get on the internet with the ME computer unless you install some virus software.
ReplyDeleteWith everything else, consider a MacBook. I have had a steep learning curve, but it has changed my life (and I'm not exaggerating); it is worth much more than the price difference! Wishing you blessings at the end of your search, O
ReplyDeleteOh how frustrating. But just think about the new shiny machine... If you get chance pop along to my blog where you get a mention in my latest post!!
ReplyDeleteOh no not the lap top! I think it would be hard to find just the right one. I hope you find just what you are looking for.
ReplyDeleteHappy hunting, Mary
ask a lot of questions
I hope the new machine comes to you quickly ! We will miss you. RIP old machine, come on, new one !
ReplyDeleteI was 'blog hopping' and came across your dilemma! I know how devastating losing a computer is. I just got rid of a HP with darn Vista which was a nightmare. Go here for great deals and call for more info: starockdiversity.com I don't usually tout business stuff but this is worth your time to check it out.
