Note to self: never name anything electronic or mechanical after a character in a cancelled tv show, no matter how beloved the character or appropriate the name. Things will only end in tears.

RIP: Kaylee the laptop

However, since I have a Very Best Geek of a brother-in-law, my new laptop is already being assembled for me, with exactly what I need and nothing I don't, for $500 less than Kaylee cost me. And, also thanks to VBGB-i-L, I also have a desktop that will carry me througnh until the new kid arrives.

Now to see if VBGB-i-L or his stand-in at Best Buy can extract my data from the disk drive, or if I've really lost over a months' worth of work...
