Still no luck with the desktop – thankfully my laptop is still holding up or we’d really be in trouble! LOL We didn’t hear from the guys yesterday, so I’m guessing I’ll get the bad news tomorrow regarding the new ‘puter estimate. Grrr….. If I had the time I’d try to build one myself, but I’m just not that confident or brave…yet. Bunny had some software suggestions in case it’s not hardware after all, but I can’t get the %^&* thing to stay on long enough to run them! Thanks for trying though bunny! I’m thinking ‘bout getting an external enclosure for the hard drive and running the tools on it from my laptop – it can’t hurt right?!?!
