Low Post Rate

No, that title does not imply that the USPS will charge you less for shipping letters. It's a mixed apology/warning for the low rate of posts in my blog for the past few days and for the next few days. Reasons for the prior: Work, church, my brother returning from Africa, etc. Future: My computer is sick. :-( Whenever it runs at a high CPU rate for very long (for example, while running a game or an antivirus scan), then it gets hot and shuts down. I believe its fan is broken, causing it to overheat and shut down as a safety precaution. So I've been making backups of my data, and I'll be taking it to Circuit City at some point in the near future. ::sigh:: I'm gonna miss 'er.

The way Circuit City's policies work, if you take the device in, and they attempt to repair it on two occasions and it still has the same problem, then they give you store credit for a new device. So, depending on the competency of their repair people, I might be getting a new laptop soon.

One thing's for sure though: should I have the opportunity to buy a new laptop, I'll not be buying a Toshiba laptop. My old one had a weird problem that caused the screen's backlight to go out (some sort of power inverter had gone out). And now this with my new one. I'm thinking a Sony next time....
