my computer, which was so very ill, seems to be working again, despite my being told it sounded permanently dead. i don't know if this return to life is the result of a nice long rest (as i rarely turn it off, but it has been off for the last week or so) or my shutting the curtains for the last week (thus keeping the hot sun off it) or what, but i am most pleased.
i only attempted to turn it on in a sort of masochistic despair, wanting to check one more time that it really was dead. but it lives!
naturally, the first thing i did with my revivified machine was back up all the files, as i have no idea if this continued life will last...it may still be sick, i wouldn't know. and i'm going to try to keep it turned off more, as i presume it's good to give it a rest. but who knows if it will stop working again, and permanently...
but at least i've backed up all my important data. and my machine works, for the moment.
