I came home this morning, turned on my computer and all I got was a little flashing cursor in the top left corner. No BIOS, no operating system, no nothing.

There a very few things as disturbing as a non-working computer. It's not my sole source of entertainment, but pretty damn close. Music, movies, writing, photography. Plus I need to feed my insatiable Freecell addiction.

I didn't have a startup or a boot disk in my house, so I'm going to try to download one right now in the Peace Corps office. If I can't get the computer up and running again I might have nervous breakdown.
