Kindle Freebie
There was some interest here a few months ago when Lucinda Brant had a freebie so I grabbed this new freebie when I saw it. Deadly Affair: A Georgian Historical Mystery (Alec Halsey #2) Quote:

oooh... I shouldn't be in this thread.
The temptation! It buuuuurns!!! And in a couple of days a new one will start... But hey, I managed to be back on MR for a whole three days before hitting the Deals forum. I get points for that, right? Right??? Please?? I don't want to get sent back to the addicts thread. I've been doing so good lately! (Mostly because I haven't been here, but still.) |

Good news: The power's back on. I had turned everything off except a light (although I didn't actually unplug everything, I have surge protectors on the TV/gadget stand and on the computer desk). Bad news: Despite the surge protectors, it looks like my 7-year-old laptop was a victim. I was originally able to get in under Safe Mode, but after running a scan disk overnight, even that doesn't work. I'm going to try to go in on an Ubuntu USB drive and see how many of my files I can get off of it before it completely dies! I have a lot of the important ones on Dropbox (thank goodness, someone on this site talked me into Dropbox!), but at least one of the critical ones - the one with all the brand-new passwords because I moved in the last couple weeks - wasn't. So fingers crossed, it's not in the "dead-zone". I'm going to try reimaging, but I'll admit after 7 years, I was thinking it was probably time to upgrade anyway. I really don't want to "upgrade" to Windows 7, though. I'm entirely happy with XP. It does what I want, when I want, and I'm familiar with how it works. I really don't want to have to learn yet another operating system! (I thought it was safe to clutter this thread with "chatter", since July has a new thread). I just had to tell someone!

Oh my. Poor dear reliable laptop. What a good machine you have been. My condolences Fizzy.
My freakin' K4 is freaking out. Was just getting it ready to give to a friend.... Maybe 1000 books is the limit? |

I had a 6 month old hard drive die on me two Fridays ago. I feel your pain. I still have to RMA the drive. It's taken me over a week to slowly get back to where I was. Ubuntu has saved me many times! Always unplug your PCs when the power goes out or it's storming. Power spikes can be deadly. Surge protectors only protect so much. We had an amazing severe storm just move through here so I had to unplug mine till now. I use Vista and like you I don't want to move to Windows 7 yet.
