So we're back. :) We're still a bit tired, and we're running around trying to get everything caught up that piled up during our unexpected absence. Compounding that the computer I've been using lately, our games machine, went down with a busted power supply. So I went out and bought a little Acer netbook. I was due a new lappy, as the last one was a overheating mess, and being tethered to a desktop wasn't the best solution for writing. (Also, if I want to write and the Owlvark wants to play Deus Ex, we're kind of stuck.) All I really need the thing to do is be a glorified typewriter and play Diablo II, and so far, it's looking as though it will fulfill both tasks admirably.

Incidentally, the compy that's down is the one that we use to store the pictures on, and has the camera software on it, so pics from the West Coast trip will be slightly delayed.

could you use a power supply?

Aww, that's really nice of you to offer, thank you! Because of the graphics card (which is still reasonably substantial three years later) it requires a 700 watt supply, which aren't standard issue. we were thinking of just getting a bigger hard drive along with the power supply from Newegg and making over the machine again. Hell, we might have to upgrade the card; even if it will run HL2 without a qualm, I'm not sure we've checked out the specs for Deus Ex 3...

If you could bring it 'round sometime that was convenient to you, and we could try it, that would be awesome.
