The demise of reliable Della!

So alas, it seems we have come to the end of the road. My reliable Della can no longer be relied upon to get in touch with her hard drive due to old age (possibly aided by dust bunnies, crumbs and coffee). She keeps crashing and going on the blink, losing data, having geriatric episodes and being generally moody. My formerly reliable Della has been a marvellous little laptop, if a little on the hot side, with a great keyboard and nice stickers. I have been browsing for a replacement on her, even though it feels a bit like cheating and being caught red handed (lusting after the serious hardware in the business section) ... I imagine. Poor thing, I will let her rest now and use ol' Dusty at the back of the pile of papers on the desk until I find a decent lappy to take her place. Bless.
