I have words for my CYA ficathon story. Not many, but it's a start. Finally. I have a slight nibble of an idea for this week's ff_friday "Colors" challenge. The Jayne/Zoe H/C thing is on page two and sitting at 650 words or so.

*flails* Adam Baldwin is going to be on "Bones" in a couple of weeks!!! *flails some more*

We're going to see "8 Below" this afternoon. DOGGIES! And "Lady and the Tramp" comes out on DVD today. MORE DOGGIES!

I got my old Dell laptop working properly, and now I can sell it and have more WriterCon money. What a relief. Dang thing was driving me nuts. Thank God for the recovery disk. Very handy thing, that. Should probably make one for this laptop, although supposedly I don't need one.

I was faintly depressed yesterday. I feel better today, which is a good.

You should always have a recovery diskette. Whoever told you that you "don't need one" has rocks in his head - as you've just discovered for yourself. That's like telling a homeowner that he doesn't need tools. "Sure, buddy. We just call you, right?"

In your case, if you're running Windows XP, don't lose the original operating system CD(s). Your Setup CD has the Repair Console on it. But you can also use that self-same recovery diskette, in a pinch - 99% of the time it has what you need anyway.

That's the thing. This computer didn't come with the original OS CDs. There is no setup CD. The documentation says I don't need it. I'm not sure it's actually RIGHT, but that's what it says.

And yes, I bought it new in the box from Circuit City.
