Hello Again!
Oy! The week before Christmas, my brand new, beautiful laptop met it's maker in the form of a very large glass of wine that got into an argument with a video game controller... ultimately, it ended up being a story too stupid to make up.
The poochies were doing their NASCAR thing around the living room. A foot got tangled in the cord, ripping the controller out of my little sister's hands. The controller flew into a glass of wine with the accuracy and purpose of a prince's arrow slaying a dragon. The next thing I knew, the glass of wine had literally exploded all over my laptop. I have managed to somewhat rig my old laptop to be able to limp myself online. To do this, I have to sit with the power cord wrapped around my back because if it jiggles, the power to the laptop fails. The laptop is also missing the "N" key (Thank you, Mak). At least I got the pop-ups to stop for the moment. This thing is soooo going into the repair shop next week. Anyhoo, just wanted to limp in and let everyone know I missed them. Hope the holidays were great and that everyone is warm and snuggly with a furry kid.

Oy! So there's no chance of getting the new laptop fixed?
Glad you're at least able to limp back on the old one! All's well otherwise there?

Oh wow! That sucks! Liquids and electronics don't go well together! Glad to hear you're safe and sound & limping along!

Sorry for the late response. The old laptop gets to decide when it wants to work. My tax return is coming next Friday. I will be taking them both into the repair shop to see what they can do. I don't hold out much hope for the new one, though. Oh well... I love my old Compaq.
Miss you all! Can't wait to be back full time.

Too bad about your computer , but picturing in my mind your depiction of the "incident" made me smile, sorry.

That being said, once I got over the initial freaked-outness, it was kind of funny. Things like that just don't happen without divine intervention.
