The HD in my laptop seems to be failing. If I run the computer flat, it's fine. If I, say, put it in my lap and run it at a bit of an angle, I get the endless-reseek hard drive noise and the system grinds to a near-total halt. (That is, when there's a flareup of this behaviour. It's not continuous yet.)

God dammit we so cannot afford this right now.

Back up everything! Then back it up again! Stop reading this, don't reply and backup!

And hey.. we have friends in common. I am going to add you. I hope that's alright.

Now that I look

I guess it's just a friend. She must just mention you a lot. So let me know if you don't mind being added.

Incidently, and I know you can't afford it now, but if you want to use my IBM employee discount to buy a thinkpad I can send you the URL and secret code. It's a fairly significant savings, and I AM allowed to let friends and family do so.

Anyway, good luck with the laptop.

I don't mind, go right ahead. ^_^

Thanks for the offer - but I run MacOS, which thinkpads, sadly, don't. ;_;

Hm!

That sounds a lot like what's been up with mine for a while (which is odd, really.)

Consider a USB keyboard? It's worked for me for months. ^_^
