Bad computer Monday.
Old laptop (which still has my email): goes on standby, spontaneously, in the middle of actual use (mouse moving, keyboard typing, changes occuring on-screen in response to this). Stops responding. Note: has the Dell memory bug. So of course it stops responding. That's why I disabled standby mode, under any circumstances, ages ago.
After 4-5 reboots, I got it back to a usable state. Blah.
Desktop: Upgraded motherboard over weekend. Now has Windows 2000 on it; 95 did not like the new motherboard, not at all. Lucky me. Windows 2000 sucks rather more disk space down...all my installed programs, aren't (though the data files were preserved via backup). And there's not room to reinstall all of 'em, either, without absorbing the D drive back into C and removing most of its contents, or other tomfoolery. Fortunately, my desktop once was my primary document storer, and now my laptop will be.
But blah.
Good morning, it's a Monday. My new laptop, at least, is working nicely.
