Down, down, down

That super loud crash you heard ... was my computer. The laptop has died, taking with it all my pictures. Thankfully one of my best friends married a computer tech. So I sit her anxiously awaiting a phone call telling me he was able to clear my hard drive and save all my stuff. There is a 99% chance that will happen. It's the 1% I'm worried about.
So until my new Dell arrives in the mail this week, I'm stuck on this ancient contraption running Windows 98. All I can say is that when I'm back up and running the twinkie spam will be flowing freely as will the frequent and obsessive back-ups of all my documents and files.
