In the words of my late grandma I gave myself a tennis ball cut last night. Chopped the mop, coulnd't take it any more.
My laptop has a virus and is on the fritz. I was torn between throwing it through the window and taking it in to get fixed. I went with the latter, though I think the former would have been more satisfying. I've resigned to a total loss and if they can save anything that's great. I really hope they can salvage my work contacts from Thunderbird... if not I may still throw it through the window. I am on Sammi's computer now, which we also think has the same virus but its in remission or something. Maybe she'll let me throw hers through the window if it breaks down.
Watch out for anyththing called Internet Security 2010!
