Well, that's annoying

Tuesday evening…I think it was Tuesday…my laptop died.

*moment of silence*

I’ve spent the intervening time trying to resurrect it, with no success.  Also going into mild Internet withdrawal.  This is not unexpected; the Chromebook was three years old and I had used it hard.

I do have my faithful Mac, of course, but it’s ten years old and one OS too far, and therefore is a bit sloooow.  Also awkward to use without a desk and a proper chair, which I don’t have.  Currently I have an old translucent iMac keyboard plugged in, with my thumb hooking under it to keep it in place on my knees.  I got it from the thrift store when my wireless keyboard gave up, and it locks up every time I forget and use caps lock.

Needs drive, though, so I’m trying to work out where to put the iMac so I can type comfortably.  Got fic to write.

I intend to replace the Chromebook, but I can’t do it until next month.  We’ll see how things work.

Next step: secure hard drive from old machine.  *hefts hammer*
