If this works at all, it will be my first-ever post from a Blackberry to tell you that my laptop – the one with the very expensive new used motherboard – has crashed.

It’s giving me a blue screen that says:
Registry File Failure C0000218
/systemroot/system32/config/default or its log or alternate is corrupt, absent, or not writable.

Oh joy.
Again?

Could I maybe just start shredding money and sprinkling it all over the laptop?
Because that would be cheaper.

I’m stressed.
I can’t take much more of this.
And I’ll deal with it when I get home.
Thus, barring a miracle, I’ll catch you up again from some other halfway broken down computer come Sunday.

Onward and upward…
