The flurry of recent posts is due in part to the fact that I must send my computer in for repair today. It's not quite dead yet, but if it doesn't receive medical care soon I fear that might change. Do you remember those can-like toys from when you were growing up, which when you tipped them upside down it would sound like a cow mooing? Well, my laptop fan is making the exact same sound...
It's scheduled to be picked up shortly, and then I'll be in for a few days to a week of laptop withdrawal... I'll probably be able to get online here and there while it's gone, and I also have Internet access on my phone, so I won't be completely cut off. Feel free to send any emails you were otherwise inclined to send, but note that the Treo interface is kind of cludgy so if I don't respond right away it's probably because of that, and not (necessarily) because of something you said...
Edit 3/29: It's back! Props to IBM (or Lenovo, or whoever they are...), their turn-around time is really excellent. I thought I wouldn't have the machine back until Monday, but it's Thursday night and apparently it's been back since this morning. Considering that it only got sent out Tuesday late afternoon, this is pretty impressive.
Oh, and it seems to work as well...
