I don't BELIEVE this! My freaking laptop hard drive has died AGAIN!

[insert long list of colorful, multilingual expletives here]

OF COURSE it died when JFM asked me to fill in and send a mass emailing to the civic association he co-chairs.

Fortunately, said laptop went on the fritz just as I was chatting online with a fellow techie friend, RD. He set up a GoToMeeting session on one of his computers so I could log on THERE and send the mass email.

The email is being sent out even as I type. Thanks, R! I appreciate the help!

Technology... when it works, it's grand, but when it acts up, ARRRRGH!

I probably will be minus a laptop until Sunday at the least. Thank God I bought this netbook in March. It's been a life-saver.
