For those of you who thought you'd have heard more from me in the past two weeks-plus, I've had a glitch with my new laptop which has been kinda consuming. But now I've put the thing through all the tests that tech support can have me do (the final backup, erase and install, and software restore that took me NINE HOURS today was just oodles of fun, right) and have reached the "send it in for repair" stage, which is something of a relief. Out of my hands and on to theirs, and I can sit here with my penultimate computer and go back to playing. So I will try to catch up on missed emails and the like soon!
