'The Network's going down...'

'and my hard drive is corrupt'! Spooky how this happens just a few days after I was looking through PC World magazine at some sexy new kit.

Bollocks! Can't get my desktop to boot up... I'm impotent. Got a techie round, hopefully he'll be able to do something for £40/hr, but I doubt it. Let's see, my last backup was about a year ago... nightmare!

Backup your stuff kiddies ASAP. Now I'm back to my old dusty white box and Windows Me for the next few days...

Update: a day later and the old box died too! Coincidence? I'll just have to make the occasional post via my nokia n800 for the time being...
