RIP My Poor Computer

My apologies to my family and friends, to whom I have promised pictures of Metz long ago. As I was loading pictures last night and writing a saga of my first day-trip in the city, my computer began making loud tutting noises and soon started smoking. After three years of faithful service, my fan (I think) blew, and I am now computer and phone-less in France. Luckily, the school has computers that I can use, but I do not have access to skype or Gchat at the moment. Sorry mom, you will be getting emails until I make a friend who will lend me his laptop. I didn't think I would be missing CMU so soon,...but lesson learned: Never take English-speaking computer gurus for granted.
