To my large dismay, I hath been abandoned.

This afternoon, when I tried to turn on my computer, it refused to wake up. Alas, no amount of pushing, shoving, yelling, or miscellaneous drastic measures would result in success of bringing it back to the land of the awake -- my computer is in a coma.

As to what that means for the forums... I'm not sure yet. I know that for now I can still access the forums on my Dad's computer, but that might not be feasible forever.

If I find out that I'll have to leave for an extended period of time, I'll let you all know.

God bless,
Suiauthon

I hope your computer issues get resolved quickly.

We would seriously miss you if you have to leave for a long time!

Thank you, Jonathan.

*laughs* Why thank you, Aleena!

Aw no! I hope it fixes itself, Sui! Is it a laptop?

*echoes previous posters*

Hope everything gets figured out quickly. Must be dreadfully inconvenient.

*flies to Georgia to doctor Mark's computer*

Bad computer! We will miss you until you come back.

Thank you, everyone.


As nice as that would be, I doubt that my computer will decide to cooperate in its comatose state. Yes, 'tis a laptop.


Quite.


If only...


There's an off-chance that my being able to use Dad's laptop will let me stay on the forum, but I admit indefinite use of the computer doesn't sound probable right now.

That does happen to my laptop sometimes, Sui. It won't switch on, or do anything and I take out the battery from underneath it, take out the charger out of the back, hold down the power button for 30 seconds and then I put the charger and battery back in and it wakes back up. It was something I read to do on the internet and it always works for me. It might be something that won't work for yours I know. But it's worth a try, maybe?

Not cool.

Try attacking Google. It sounds like a very simple problem, one that can be easily fixed. I hope so, anyway...

Will pray for a quick remedy.
God bless,

@Lady Elanor I tried that and it won't work. Thanks for trying to help though.


Indeed.


From what we've seen, it looks more likely for it to not be easily fixed than otherwise.


Thank you.

Aw. I'm sorry it didn't work. Let's hope somehow you are provided with a new computer! You haven't lost any of your writing work, have you?

*Sniffles* Don't be gone too long Sui!

I'll pray a solution presents itself.

~ZA

That's okay.


*laughs* That would be nice, if it turns out my computer isn't fixable.


I have lost some temporarily. Thankfully, I don't immediately need any of what I lost (actually, there is one small part I could use right now, but I've figured out a way to work around it), and, if it turns out my computer won't come out its coma, my grandfather has a device which can retrieve my files anyways.



Thank you, Ophelia.

At least you won't lose anything!!! That is not fun.

*Echoes Airi* It's good that you won't lose any of your work. Let's just hope it's fixable!

The only thing that I really-need/would-be-devastated-if-I-lost is Beorn's fractal, and, thankfully, I had all but one step in the gdoc.


Indeed.

I hope your computer wakes up from its coma soon.

Thank you, Emmalina.

How are things looking with this, Sui? Still bleak?

Yes.

I have started looking into getting a new computer, but there is no telling when that might actually happen.

Well, let's hope it happens soon!

Yes.

Thanks, guys.

Mark, how go this venture?

No change. But college is marching onward ever slowly, ever surely, and I know I'll be getting one before then.

Well, that's good news though! We're looking forward to you having your computer back!

I hope you can get one soon. Have you tried Craigslist? That's a place where people sell used stuff, and my daddy recently got nice laptop on there, for a really low price.

Thank you, Lady Elanor.

Thanks for the suggestion, Shinja. I know I'll be getting a new computer though -- whatever I get needs to last through college (if not longer ).

I'm getting myself a new laptop in the summer as well, Sui. Hopefully, anyway.

Fun. I wish us luck!

New computers...

For the bibliophiles that own laptops...

That...is way too awesome...I want it now.

Must... have...

That in-itself is enough of a reason to get a laptop... even if one never used it.

I came across that last month on Tumblr as well and drooled. The two reasons I don't own one right now is 1.) it's crazy expensive for a case 2.) the zipper could potentially scratch the laptop. But it's really so cool. *shining eyes*

*Is the odd one out and doesn't like*

It would make my nice new laptop look.....old!

I want it too, even though I don't have my own laptop!
