I'm amazed I've actually managed to get online tonight. The PC threw a major wobbly last night and crashed spectacularly. I couldn't get it to reboot even in any variation of safe mode or boot disk, so I ended up having to do a complete rebuild today.
Just as well I had most of my data backed up. Although I hadn't got around to backing up a lot of the system stuff and programs and such - hence there's a ton of stuff that I have to download from the internet, not to mention updates and such. Four years' worth *sigh*.
I spent about 8 hours rebuilding the thing today, and it's still pretty fragile and really basic just now. If only I had the money to get a whizzy new laptop or something, so I could just plug it in and have it all just work.
Gah, technology. I get enough of having to get the stuff to function at my job.
Just so as you know, if I don't reply to an email or comment on your fic, it's likely to be 'technical difficulties'.
