For those who have wondered why I have these long breaks where I publish nothing and then seem to publish half-a-dozen things all at once, here is the simple truth. I break shit, computers to be more specific. Whether it's from surfing porn sites and collecting more viruses than a five-dollar crackwhore or from doing something stupid like tossing a bag off the bed that just happens to contain a big ass candle that comes down on my laptop and smashes my computer screen all to hell, I just keep breaking shit.
So, now I have to buy yet another computer (thank goodness for Ebay)and transfer all the data from my old harddrive into this new one so that I can finish my non-fiction book and one or two of the three novels I am currently writing. Luckily, the novel I am most enthused about is on my wife's laptop. Lucky for me. It sucks for her because now I am on her laptop all the time and she complains that her virus protection isn't strong enough to cope with some of the websites I go on. Oh well, that's what you get being married to a hedonist who breaks computers.
I think I need to buy one of those ToughBook laptops that you can drop off a speeding Jeep. That and Pentagon grade virus protection so the people over at PhatBooties.com can't put spyware on my hardrive.

This makes me feel better about the hard drive that cost me $500 to fix last year, By the way, Wrath, you don't have a profile on Wikipedia. It's a good way to get your name out there: for example, I found Keene and Ketchum on Wikipedia. As I have commented before, I just found out about you recently and am looking forward to reading Succulent Prey.
I'd look into some good property insurance, too. I knocked my laptop off a bed in Kyrgyzstan a couple years back and my property insurance covered it even though I told my agent the truth.
Your problem doesn't seem to be hardware base but more O/S side. I'm willing to beat your a Windows user and unfortunately you use "Internet Explorer" as your main browser.
Thus through surfing many free pornsites your PC becomes infected with many types of spyware that makes it damn near unbootable right?? I work in IT for a living but I used to fix computers on the side so I'm familiar with most issues. If you follow up to this, I can post you some tips to have you running a pretty clean system.
