So far this morning my old Windows 98 box has locked up on me twice, forcing me to reboot. That's what I get for trying to write in Microsoft Word and play a CD at the same time.

Luckily I've been saving every five minutes and every time I launch a new application. And every time I change position in my chair. And if I exhale too forcefully.

Yesterday morning I lost all the changes I'd made to the opening chapter with another lock-up.

FedEx can't get my new computer to me fast enough!
