How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
My computer is dead. Motherboard, power supply, and graphics card. The tech says he can't even tell yet if the hard drive or memory are good until he replaces this first set of parts. That's $300.00, right there.
It seems to me it's unlikely the rest survived the surge if those parts didn't.
I'm screwed, right?

Deena, I have an old Dell laptop that I can send to you. Just let me know.

Thanks, javachik, that's so sweet of you. I have backup, so I'm okay. I'm just frustrated because it doesn't have my programs, or my stuff, and it's got less memory, but mostly the programs and the stuff. I saved everything to that computer. I've really got to stop doing that.

Isnthat the same Dell laptop I used to watch The Office (and many other DVDs) when S was in the hospital in SF a couple of years ago?

It sho is. Boyfriend has been borrowing it for a year, but he just bought himself a new laptop so it's now freed up again.

That was such a sanity saver that holiday season, jc. Thanks again for that loan.

I love that there's a spare Buffista laptop floating around. It's like the high-tech equivalent of that box of kids clothing that's been making the rounds since Matilda was born.

So, apparently AT&T fucked up and exposed tons of iPad G3 personal data - including Rahm Emmanuel.
The worst part?
