I Must Have Had a Premonition

Well, we had a savage thunderstorm pass through the Charlotte area this morning, so we shut down the desktop computer, and when we tried to re-start it, of course it had given up the ghost, the boot files corrupt from years of use and several cleanups after spyware/virus infections. I used to have a Windows XP disc, but I loaned it to my sister to loan to a friend, and that poor soul died while in possession of it, so I never got it back. Since this past Friday was payday I ordered a new disc off of eBay, it should be here next week. In the meantime I'm on my netbook here at home. I'll try to keep up with the blogging, but it's more of a chore on the netbook than it is on the desktop.
