Sad :(

I turned on my laptop this morning and the touch pad wasn't working, so I had to force it to restart and now it's broken :( It won't load windows properly and is stuck in a sad perpetual loop of trying to load and restarting... I'm really sad about this, I've had my lovely laptop since 2003 and it's served me well. I'm going to have to give the insurance people a call later if it doesn't decide to work, but it seems like there are some corrupted files, so I'm not hopeful about a sudden recovery of my little one.

The thought of a new computer excites the hell out of me, but I know that isn't going ot happen so I have to hope that a mircale will happen or the insurance will cover a repair job.

Fingers crossed.
