....and we're back!

Last week I mentioned that my laptop had suddenly gone comatose. But then this past Tuesday, as I was preparing to send it to a friend who might be able to recover some of the data, I thought, "why not try it just once more?" and pushed the power button. Whaddya know, it started right up and has been fine since.
I'm glad to have it back, but of course it will have to behave for quite a while in order to regain my full trust.
