More Computer Fun At CQ

The CQ laptop has once again gone overboard. The Sony Vaio I bought over a year ago suddenly died this evening -- just as I was about to put up a killer post, too. It looks like the power supply burnt out; the computer suddenly lost power, and it will not power up at all, either with our without the battery.

What's more frustrating is that I had to stay home from work today, thanks to a minor surgical procedure on my finger, and I took most of the time napping and recuperating. I wish I'd spent the time keeping up with my e-mail and news.

Unfortunately, that puts a bit of a crimp in my style. I can get e-mail on my backup machine, but all the e-mail I received from around 5 pm and earlier is now unaccessible to me. I can still surf and post, but my preferred tools are on my Vaio, so it will be slow going.

I'll take my Vaio to the shop tomorrow and see if I can get it fixed. Otherwise, it may be a while before I can replace it -- this summer has been rather taxing. It's a great machine and I hope it can be salvaged .... we'll see.
