My computer is still sick. The guy at the repair place says there are other problems beyond the hard drive, and I might need a new motherboard. So I'm thinking maybe it'd be worth it to just buy a new computer. The repair guy should be calling me back today, and then I should be able to make that decision. In the meantime, I am without computer at home (this is being composed on the company's dime), and at a total loss at home. At least I've managed to get some reading done, and do some cleaing. My closet is much more organized, so that it is now actually theoretically possible to find a book I might be looking for in there.
