Arrgh! Still no hard drive!

I still don't have a hard drive-- I'm limping along going from computer to computer, Andy’s for the Internet, and Joel’s I think in the end is going to be useless, because there’s nothing it does that Andy’s doesn’t, and his has the Internet besides. But writing on my clunky aged IBM Thinkpad that no longer gives the correct date, where the dictionary program doesn't work, where the floppy gets stuck and you have to pry it out, etc. etc. But it's in my office (where I blew a fuse of some sort, or maybe it is something with one of the surge protectors.) Sigh...
