Guys, guys, I got my new laptop! My old one died two weeks ago, which I didn't tell you because... my old laptop died.

I had my EVEN OLDER desktop for use in emergencies, which was basically getting the NFE matching done and prompts sent out and that took forever because, yeah, that's an old iMac.

Anyway, this is a brand new MacBook Pro and it's all shiny and has lots of RAM and a huge hard drive, and I am glad I got it custom built, even though it took me longer to get it. And I was able to recover all my files from the old laptop! \o/ Thank god for Time Machine, this is not the first time it's saved my ass, I'll tell you what.

Anyway anyway, hi! I missed you all, did you notice I was gone? :D bedlamsbard I can finally get that beta done!

Yay for shiny new nonbroken computers! (And yay for beta! Though my other beta never got back to me either, heh.)

Oh my gosh it is SO SHINY. I cannot contain my glee!

I will work on it tomorrow and hopefully get it to you tomorrow night. Sorry about that!

I just got a new laptop yesterday because my old desktop died! (Well, I ordered it Saturday, I just got my hands on it yesterday.) We are dead-computer twins!

I have to see what I have managed to back up on external drives, because the old computer is so dead it doesn't want to turn on all the time.

Yay, new laptop! \o/ They're just so shiny and it makes me feel so industrious and like I should be typing superfast. MY KEYBOARD IS BACKLIT! I CAN TYPE IN THE DARK!

My old laptop died so hard that it won't turn on at all! It just plays an alarm sound when I try to get it on, so there was no way at all to pull the stuff off it. But the backup worked fine and everything is right there where I left it. :D

I was not longing for a backlit keyboard, but I can see its usefulness now that I have one.

My desktop started off by hanging indefinitely at the Windows start screen. After much troubleshooting via the Internet and several attempts to reinstall Windows, it decided to refuse to start most of the time.

I do have backups, but I am worried about how recent they are and whether there will be a problem getting them from Win7 to Win8. Tonight I will see!

Time Machine has saved me several times.

Congrats on the new laptop.
