The laptop has ground to a complete halt. The processor runs full tilt all the time just being turned on. It is hopeless trying to actually do anything on it.

So, Kent wiped it and is starting over. I will let him tell the fuller, gory story once he gets a bit less aggravated. For now let it suffice to say that he’s spending a LOT of time in front of the screen. It is particularly unhandy since we are not in a good Verizon zone and our aircard is not up to the task. He spend all afternoon yesterday in town on McDonald’s wifi. Good thing he likes their fries. At least Word is working again and I can blog.
