Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I need some Buffista-riffic help!

I have a small Western Digital external hard drive that I've been using as my back-up via Time Machine. I have an Apple MacBook Pro, BTW.

Anyway, I got tired of dragging it around with me while I was and internet gypsy. Well, I plugged it back in when I got back online, but I just noticed it wasn't backing up. In fact, the computer doesn't seem to recognize it anymore.

I've plugged it into both USB ports and neither make a difference. It did get dropped once...or twice.

Could I have killed it? Is there anyway to get the data off of it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Can you guys help me make a call? I want to get the cheapest laptop possible. Each of these is $300:

- Compaq - Presario Laptop / AMD V-Series Processor / 15.6" Display / 2GB Memory / 250GB Hard Drive - available today

- Toshiba - Satellite Laptop / Intel® Celeron® Processor / 15.6" Display / 3GB Memory / 250GB Hard Drive - not available til next week

I think the Toshiba is objectively better, because of the memory, right? But I want it NOW! t /Veruca Salt

They pay me in WOIMS

The Toshiba has a better chance of sucking less than the Compaq.

Ha! The Compaq is basically what I have now (from 3 years ago), and I am pretty comfortable with its level of sucking.

OK, fine, I got the Toshiba. Done!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ha. I totally agree with Tom. The Toshiba is better.
