wallow with me in pity, won't ya?
Sunday, October 23, 2005
The puter has suffered a MAJOR relapse and is presently in a coma. Yep, you read it right. COMATOSE it is. It looks like one of its major organs has failed to function, and so it flat-lined this morning. It is a terrible, terrible thing to happen. Only a transplant can help it now, so Mr. S and I have been discussing whether or not to pull the plug, or keep it on the respirator. Ooookay, so that's as far as watching House is going to take me. LOL!
So what's going to happen now? This means I take an involuntary break from digiscrapping. Is there a worse fate for a digiscrapper?! Oh, the pain!!! Right now, I'm using Mr. S's laptop. Since it's office-issued, I can't really install PS on it, so I can only use it for blogging and surfing. And drooling at other people's layouts. I could use Mr. S's ultra-fast puter, which has PS7, by the way. But I married a selfish, selfish man and he refuses to let me, because he needs it for his puter games. Aaarrgh!!!
What does the future hold for this bereft digiscrapper? Well, there's light at the end of the tunnel. The hubs and I have decided to get a new puter. The new one goes to Mr. S, I get his ultra-fast puter, and the old one becomes our file server. It's going to cost us big-time, but really, we will both die if we didn't have our own puters. And DSL connection. It may take a while though, since Mr. S has to order the processor and motherboard from the US. We're looking at maybe 1-2 weeks. *gasp* So to compromise, Mr. S is going to buy a so-so (read as cheap...) motherboard just to get my old puter going until the new one arrives. It's going to be a loooong 2 weeks...
Luckily, all digiscrapping files have been backed up. In two separate locations, I might add. LOL! Can never be too sure, ya know. I was going to end this by showing you the layouts I've done pre-mortem of my puter, but blogger is being cranky and refuses to wallow with me in my pity party. I'm too lazy to go to photobucket, so you'll have to wait.
In the meantime, goodnight y'all! Hope you had a fab weekend!
