Here's the story:
My comp. started off with a casual malfunctioning of the USB ports, followed by the Media Player stopping all the time... And then the comp.'s OS was fully corrupted and now won't start.

The Current Situation:
The comp. is in the shop, but they say it looks grim. I will be lucky just to get my desktop items.

The Awesome Part:
All of my photography and poem copies are saved to the desktop, so if I do get lucky, I'll have all that truly matters.

Where does this leave me:
Computer-less until further notice.

What should you do:
Don't panic, I'll come back.
Remember, to quote an old friend: "Forge is like life! What doesn't break you makes you stronger!"
