Well, I said it, and Murphy listened. Thus my computer died.

Okay, not died died, but the monitor port is certainly dead. I tried connecting my old non-LCD monitor after my LCD screen suddenly went grey, and since that didn't work either, the only logical conclusion is that the port has kicked the bucket.

So now I have a blank screen and can only connect to the internet - and to my D:\ drive - via my laptop.

The fun part is that a) I cannot download anything that doesn't fit onto my minuscule laptop hard drive, and b) I cannot continue writing my story that I was smart enough (argh! We even talked about it tonight!) to only save to my private user profile on C:\.

My laptop is connected to my computer via a wireless network, but as I said, I only gave it access to D:\, arguing that the data on C:\ was too sensitive to allow access from a remote machine.

Just lovely. Someone up there hates me.
