Internet-less

Well, my computer continues in its slow painful death.  Incredibly luckily, I have most of my stuff backed up somewhere.  It's not something I've ever felt the need to do before.  In the past my computers have aged relatively gracefully, picking up minor non-lethal viruses and malware along the way.  I've never contracted anything that's caused it to collapse on itself.  Because of my forethought (or my family's since they're the ones that gave me the backup thing) I'm near giving up and accepting the losses and wiping the thing.  'Cause I miss my computer!
