Yeah... looks like it won't be though :\ Tried it this morning, got nothing. I put it in the closet because I just don't want to even look at it (can't throw it out until I remove/destroy the hard drive anyhow). I feel a little better about it today but I'm still mad at myself for ruining something that "worked." I'm kinda blaming myself a lot here...
Though honestly: it's 6 years old (got it around April of 2004), it has a DVD player/CD burner -- so it doesn't even burn DVDs, I've had to format/reinstall things on it 3 times this year alone, it's slow and has trouble even doing internet stuff sometimes, it's heavy, it runs hot, and Toygar has told me 3 times already to go get a new one (after watching me bitch about reinstalls).
I was only using it to save us some money and put off the inevitable. It could just as easily stopped working one day for no reason at all.
So, maybe when we get back from Turkey I'll get a new one. I'm going to miss having it by my side though... it was nice for lounging (even if it was old/heavy).
Toygar still hasn't written back to me about it <<; I wonder if he's waiting to call me, or if he's worried I'm still on a rampage about it (I get mad when electronics don't work). I actually wasn't MAD this time I felt ill over it and worried about it ALL DAY yesterday. It kinda ruined my Sunday and I couldn't think of ANYTHING else --;
Sleeping on it has helped, I'm not as upset today, just feeling sad...
