My Laptop Is Dead

I have had it for almost ten years now so it was bound to go out eventually. It just chose today to do so and not even all the king's men -- or for that matter, the local geek squad -- could put it back together again.

Fortunately, most of my files are saved on flash drives nowadays but it's still a major inconvenience. I might have a new laptop within a few days depending on my budget. We'll see.
