Welp.

My poor laptop is breaking all the way down.  I managed to thoroughly break the "s" key last night (I'm pasting the "s" when I need it; v. inefficient), and now the USB ports don't appear to be working.  I'm trying to use my nifty Logitech wireless keyboard, but it's not being recognised.  Damn.

Alas, unemployment stuff hasn't yet kicked in, else I'd acquire a cheap-ass laptop from somewhere.  I found some refurbished laptops for ~$200, which would get me by for job-shopping and basic survival... hm.
