My laptop is acting funny. It's starting to 'lock up' when I turn it on and get past the sign in screen. This last time when I turned it off, it took 20 minutes to shut everything down, I had to re-ask it to shut off, and I left it stuck on the 'saving your settings' screen for 45 minutes before I gave up and unplugged it and took out the battery to shut it off completely.

This means, if it continues doing this, I could very well be without a computer for at least a couple of weeks while I try and figure out what's wrong with it.

And if it's trashed, it could be quite a while before I can replace it at all (I'm not counting on Dad to buy me a whole new computer, which is what would have to happen if I needed to get a new one, since my finances won't allow for even a cheapie $300 placebo unit until I could afford the upgrades in vid cards and the like so I could do things like WoW...).

BTW, Geekie, I did read your posts and I loved them...and would have said so this morning if the laptop hadn't decided to pull this. :)

Anyway, under our new management, I don't feel comfortable enough to get online at work (I'm praying under my breath ATM that this sign on won't get me in trouble...), so yeah, it may be a while before you guys see me anywhere online.

I'll keep you updated as I can. *hugs*.
