I'm on hold with the Dell folks hoping that there's an easy solution for my plight. It appears that my laptop has died. It won't turn on and it doesn't look as if it's getting any power when the ac adaptor is in. Normally there's a little light on my laptop that shows there is power, even if I have my laptop turned off.

I'm seriously upset. Interestingly, I was watching a rerun of Sex In The City last night; the episode where Carrie loses everything in her laptop and she's scolded by many that she didn't back up. I thought to myself, hmmmm... self, you know it has been a while since you've backed up your laptop. Then I heard, tra-la-la....

I have the day off today, so was looking forward to reading all of my favorite blogs with my feet up on the table and my laptop, well, in my lap.

Now I'm forced to use hubby's desktop. Sitting at a desk... not my style.

So, if you'll all hold your breath and hope that it's something dumb that can be fixed TODAY, I'd very much appreciate it.

.....wimper...

Update: Dell's customer service is FANTASTIC. Sounds like it's the motherboard (figures... it's the *mother* part that always gives me problems.) They're sending me a new one AND a new processor just in case. And coming to my house to do the whole thing Monday afternoon!

I'll not be as active in posting or commenting on my regular boards. Hmmmm, maybe I'll actually go see what the outside world is like.
