Well, I won’t be able to “write anywhere” in November like I’d planned. My *cough* wonderful *cough* Dell Inspiron 3800 seems to have given up the proverbial ghost. Oh, it can boot and run programs… very, very slowly. Don’t ask it to read from the CD-ROM drive. Don’t expect it to talk to any other machine over the network. Hmm, doesn’t that render the laptop completely useless? Why yes, it does.
Plan B is to chase everyone out of the computer room during Writing Time so I can use the big happy Internet-enabled machine to write and upload. I was hoping not to have to alienate my family during NaNoWriMo, but you can’t win ’em all.
With just a bit more than three hours to go, having to change the entire game plan does not a happy duckling make.

yo dude, my homies good at repair if you can’t figure out the problem/out of warranty, or if you got the service manual and know the part, he prolly has a spare 3800 or 3 you could get parts from.
Don’t listen to Keith – we all know he’s constantly pimping out something or someone 😛
Kiethies!!!
