cindy - were you able to rescue any of your files? Do you know what died? Can the hard drive be pulled and hooked up to another box?

/geek off

quick note to let y'all know that I will end up doing the metric instead of the full century. No time on the bike in the last couple weeks due to double thesis duty and my only riding day spent trying to recover my files (my computer crashed and burned and is no longer useable - what timing, huh?)

see ya saturday!

they couldn't pinpoint it. But they did say my computer was "hosed"
- really! I have it in writing

Well, yes, hosed it a word bandied about in the geek world quite a bit....
Glad you were able to recover your stuff!

That is so helpful.

I think the only advice I can give you is to avoid Dell, particularly if you ever think you might want to call customer service. If you are cool with taking care of stuff on your own, they have some great deals, but my one experience with their customer service had me nearly homicidal.

"hosed"

Also spelled "T-O-A-S-T."

Well, I'm all set, I test-rode my AV sleeveless jersey and bolero this past weekend.

I'm going to be stylin', gasping on the side of the road

But I dislike suffering so I'll do the metric instead of the century
