Return of the Native

After two hours on the phone with Dell tech support, I seem to finally have my computer back. Yay! It has now survived fear of complete death, fear of keyboard malfunction, and fear of mouse malfunction, all at the same time. Now I just have to be sure I back up my email regularly, since it's really the only super-important thing on this drive now.

It's nice being able to surf around at home.

I'm still thinking about the laptop, though, even though I don't really have the $1,000 to drop like that.
