Computers
Lappy McTopkins is dead. It was my first computer, and in many ways my first purchase as an adult. I am saddened. Fortunately, I had most of my data backed up. I lost the latest abortive start on a thesis, lots of pirated music that I'll have to repirate, a lot of photos that I'd already put on Facebook, and my twelve downloaded RiffTrax.
My new computer, Ludwig Aloysius Percival Top, is loaded with excellent features. It has Windows Vista, lots of memory, makes an effort not to overheat, and is generally quite well put together. I kind of hate it.
UPDATE: Using the System Restore Disk (you know, that thing Dell said I'd never need because I had Windows System Rollback?) for the new computer, I was able to get access to the old computer. The initial problem of blue-screening pretty much at will is still a problem, but I got all of my files and stuff off. I think I'm going to have Jonathan reformat the old machine, then use it as a backup or something. Anyway, it's good news.
