Well, my notebook PC (whom I've christened "Adele" -- it's a Dell, get it?) has been acting more and more tempermental lately, thanks to her shoddy excuse of an operating system known an Windows ME. I'd started backing up all my data to CD last week, in anticipation of a supreme hissy-fit
Adele picked today to spazz out on me entirely. I managed to back up my remaining data (e-mail, mostly, plus some MP3s). I then wiped the hard drive completely, and am in the process of re-installing everyting.
I'm now blogging this on my super-duper Pentium-200 MMX (named "Max"). Max runs Linux-Mandrake 8.1, and while he's kinda slow, he's a very sturdy machine. I'm also doing this using the Galeon web browser, which I've never used before. I like it. It's reasonably fast, and renders CSS2 much more nicely than Netscape Communicator 4-point-whatever. And you can open multiple tabs within a single browser window. Yay.
Anyway, it'll take a while for me to get back in gear again. While I haven't lost any e-mail, it is presently inaccessible, so I will likely be even less prompt than usual in responding to any missives that have been sent to me recently. But I'll be back. Yes I will.

Very nifty blog indeed.... and I'm not just saying this because you gave a mench to NewFrontEars, though bless you for that. Go well, SB.
