The weekend so far

Spent most of my computer time today continuing the ongoing rationalization of my website, plus a little time starting to work out setlists for my concert and kids' singalong at Baycon in (*urk!*) six days.
Took the chaoswolf out for a driving lesson. It was
not particularly successful; I'm not a professional driving
instructor who knows exactly what to say and doesn't get flustered or
tongue-tied, and don't have a dual-control car. Either of which would
have kept us out of trouble. Fortunately the juniper bush was a kinder,
gentler bush; there was no damage on either side. But we decided she
needs professional lessons first.
Since the Wolfling's old Fujitsu laptop is dying (bad disk, bad CPU fan,
and forgotten BIOS password), our next stop was Fry's. Found a line of
compact HP systems -- very cute, quiet little Pentium M boxen. Came home
and did a little comparison shopping; I'll pick one up for her tomorrow
while she and the flower_cat are at the Baycon meeting.

BIOS password, would think removing the coin battery would do it (I think laptops utilize those too? Haven't opened up a laptop in a while)
But at the rate of the failures...prolly indeed a new system may be better off x_X
Good luck on the shopping =)
