Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

As is wireless networking and broadband internet access.
I'm just sure that the moment I make a hole in the wall I'll jam something conductive into something electric, and then fall into a randomly placed bathtub and still burn to death.

I tend to try to schedule my "moving major things around" and "carrying major things up stairs" and "climbing onto high things" tasks for when my roommate is around. In theory, she would notice me lying under something heavy, et cetera, sooner that way.
Since I do know somebody who laid on the floor for three days with a broken hip -- and she was not considered elderly at the time -- maybe I'm not being entirely paranoid about this.

Any suggestions for an inexpensive, reliable computer with good support for my techno-challenged sister? I have heard mixed reports about Dell, but Dell's running a great deal right now.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Every time I've had to call Dell for anything (largely trying to get off their mailing list, since we no longer have a Dell), I've ended up wanting to beat my head against a wall.
However, we very seldom had to actually call tech support, so.

I've got a dell. They aren't bad. They stand up well to my college beatings.

They stand up well to my college beatings.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Anyone know of anything going on with Amazon.com? I haven't been able to get into the site all day.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I couldn't get into Amazon earlier, but it seems to be working for me now.
