Apparently it's worse than I'd thought -- or at least, worse than I hoped. Got a call this morning telling me that my hard drive does indeed need replacing -- it's under warranty, fortunately, but these things still take time if not money. So, if all goes very well and the manufacturer ships the new HD out this evening, I'll have my computer back on Thursday night. But otherwise I'll have to wait until (*gulp*) Monday night. A whole week without e-mail or IM! It's amazing how isolated that can make one feel. Obviously I'll have to think of some other controversial subject to bring up here that will bring me lots of comments. :)
