A Series of Unfortunate Events

The laptop's gotten worse, much worse. It's turning off itself more frequently now, and I'm becoming convinced that it's the chronic Toshiba problem I mentioned earlier. I'm going to take the paperwieght down to the repair shop where one guy told me they could help me and the other told me they couldn't and hope for the best. Barring that, I'm going to start looking into more drastic alternatives. If you don't hear from me here before wednesday, assume the worst.
I hear Mt. St. Helens is getting ready to blow again. Apt timing for my laptop to blow, too, isn't it? I wonder what will happen next?
