My computer asploded!

The boys did something to my main computer, and it won't even post. Right now I'm using a dinosaur of a laptop... it makes Lappy 486 look modern and sexy. I'll call this old thing the Lappy 64. Heh.

Lappy 64 is running BSD v.3, which is a shock after my near total use of WinXP for so long. I'm used to the point-and-click, no-sharp-edges of WinPablum, all this thinking stuff is hard. Let's go shopping!

These days of text and silence have really clued me in to the need to focus on text-friendly websites and other applications. Lynx just won't have anything to do with java, so I can't check Hotmail, use Yahoo messenger, anything. I feel...disconnected, unreal - which is horribly sad. It's just a few days of reduced computer time, jeeze.

When Jeremy and I first got married, he tried to convince me to purchase a computer. "But Jeremy," I said. "We don't really need a computer! They're so expensive, and I don't want to spend that much money on a toy." Yeah. But that was six years ago (When Lappy 64 wasn't quite so obsolete), and I have become enlightened since.
