Deena, it should be simple for an ordinary repair shop to pull out the drives and make images of them, which will get you backups of your work until you can figure out what is going on with the machine....
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

All is well that ends in pizza.
Found this "superman" mouse on Dealnews, and had to mention it here.
$0 after rebate, but rebate ends tomorrow. $5 shipping, tho.
They have a similar deal on the keyboard.

Theodosia, thank you.
Edit: $59.60 at my local micro-center. Highly doable. Thanks again.

I haven't been able to access my gmail account on my computer for two days. I can access it fine from my cellphone but not from my computer. The page keeps trying to load but won't fully load. Any ideas on how to fix this?
ETA: I tried deleting browser history and cookies, and that didn't help.

sj,
have you tried to access it through m.gmail.com? That's the mobile version. If you can access it through that, go to the bottom of the page and click "basic html" link and see if that works. If it does, I wonder if the chat element is fucking with your gmail access. Turn that off and see if it all works again.

Thanks, le nubian! The m.gmail.com works as does the basic html link.
Of course now amazon.com won't let me sign back in because it says that cookies are not enabled, which they are.

I just downloaded Firefox and all of the computer problems went away, including my being unable to access Yahoo games which has been going on for months. Bye bye IE.

Tho I have been noticing Gmail loading attachments reallllllllly s-l-o-w. Glad to hear it's all ok now. Ya, Firefox is so much better. I urge you to try the plug in for Adblock. You can stop vast majority of annoying banner ads that annoy you (well, at least they annoy me).
