My laptop died on Thursday night.

As in really, seriously, is-not-coming-back died. It had noisy error beeps and everything.

And it's been about four months since I last did a backup.

My dad is going to try to fix it and/or extract the info stored on the hard drive, but I'm pretty sure that'll take a while. So in the meantime I'm looking for new laptops (and being shoved at Alienware by my well-meaning best friend whose parents happen to be millionaires, no I am not kidding ouch Alienware is expensive) and, well, mourning. I appear to have been more attached to that laptop than I thought I was.

Anyway. FYI, no fic shall be forthcoming from me for a good long while. 'Twas all on the laptop, see. ~~Like my CV and dissertation and the outlines of several novels and oh yeah, half my life.~~

	Oh shit. That seriously, completely BLOWS. I hope most of your data is recovered. Re: Alienware - sexy, sexy computers. But more than a little overpriced. (Yeah I'm bitter that I can't even afford to look at the stupid things, let alone buy one.) (Reply to this) (Thread)

If my dad can't fix it, I know people who do that sort of data recovery for a living, so maybe I can get a discount. Or call in a favour. Just. :( Precious laptop, all gone away. But Morgan Computers does some pretty good models for maybe a third of the original price, so hopefully I won't have to break the bank getting something decent! Curse you, Alienware, curse you.

On the up side, new icon! It makes me giggle. :D
