Thanks for the supportive responses to my previous post. Sorry I didn't reply, but I have a very good reason for it. Namely, my hard drive failed me last Thursday and I couldn't use my computer for a few days.

Today, a computer guy came in, and we actually got the computer to work. The first order of business was to back up EVERYTHING. Then he ran some diagnostics which told him that my hard drive doesn't have long to live. He's coming back in a few days to replace the hard drive with a new one. Until then, my computer time might be sporadic. At least I haven't lost all my files.

I hope everybody had a happy V-Day. I was going to make an eCard to celebrate, but it's a little late for that now. Oh well. There's always next year.

UPDATE: I'm back! That is all.
