I'm sending this to the list and to as many of my
prereaders as possible to let them know.
Last night, the power supply on my desktop machine
ate itself in a flash of power. All my fanfics, back
e-mail files, commemtary due to be sent out, et cetera,
are trapped on that machine now, unreachable.
Basically, I'm screwed. I'm relying on Anand
Raoh's laptop to stay in touch, and that doesn't have
much HD space left. (Not to mention the fact that trying
to touchtype on a laptop keyboard is an exercise in
avoiding insanity.)
Fortunately, I'm still inside the three year
on-site warrenty service that CompUSA has on the
desktop, and they will be fixing it or replacing it
for free. Thank the gods.
But! (There's always a but.. *sigh) As I live
outside the usual service area and have an older (built
in 1995) computer, it's going to take them at LEAST
two weeks, and possibly three, to get the parts needed
and get out here to fix and/or replace my machine.
So I'd like to appologize in advance to all
the members of the list to whom I've promised C&C,
as well as all of my friends. I can RECEIVE mail, but
replying is gonna be a bitch until my machine's back
up to working order.
Again, I'm really sorry, and I'll get back to
you just as soon as it's humanly possible for me to
do so.
