my laptop just died on me ...

[percival]

... just as I needed to embark on analyses for an urgent paper.

we are now trying to salvage the contents of the hard disk.

of course, given that our house is currently all in a mess, I haven't backed the thing up for AGES.

My commiserations - I had my laptop's hard drive die completely on me last year; I had to hippity-hop to the computer repair shop to get it replaced. Luckily, I have a warranty. And very luckily I was able to back everything up.

Doesn't it seem as if computers die at the worst possible time?
