A miracle of technology

I’m sitting in my living room getting ready to watch the Oscars, and guess what I’m typing this on? The dead computer. My mother-in-law took it to another computer guy last week, who started it up (which we’d been unable to do) and couldn’t find a thing wrong with it. I’m utterly confused.

Monday morning update!
That was a rather short-lived reunion. The computer worked fine yesterday evening. Today? It turned off while I was trying to import some songs into iTunes. And it won’t come back on. Again. I’m hoping it has at least one more miraculous resuscitation, though, because now I can’t get the CD that I was trying to import to iTunes to eject.
