Well, I think it’s really dead. I can’t decide if I want to sell it for parts on eBay, take it out back and shoot it Old Yeller style, or strap nitroglycerine to it, take it out into the woods and shoot it Hunter S. Thompson style after getting good and loaded on Wild Turkey.

I can get it to boot into Classic with the Norton disc, so I was able to save all of my data. Forgot to save my email mailboxes, but cest la vie. Meanwhile, it will not boot from any of the original software discs I have. So I booted back into Norton + copied the system folder from my external drive. That got me booted into Classic without a CD, but the damn thing crashes when I try to save any work, upload anything to the Internet or download anything.

Canceling Internet @ home to save $$. For now, I just have a computer @ werk. NO big deal, right? The weather’s nice and I should be outside anyway.

Still, if you’d like to contribute to the “Get Marc Back Online” fund, I won’t stop you. Drop me an email and let me know how much you’d like to donate.
