Chronicle of the Computerless, Day 3

It sounds like I need a system disk. And not only does it need to be a system disk for Mac OS Panther, which is old, it needs to be a CD, which probably means that it's for a desktop, which is downright archaic. (But thanks, vorindi.) On the plus side, chocochan's brother has been polite and helpful and is actually A Real Person (as opposed to a slightly annoyed automated sorter-and-filer, or a series of unhelpful links on a support website), which is encouraging in the mires of computer mishaps. So he found a system disk on e-bay and I've bid on it and I'll poke it again tomorrow night. And hopefully that will fix the problem.

I had a dream the night before last that my computer was broken, so I went flying through the jungle (or something vaguely like that; there may have been ropes and vines involved, but I don't remember and it was pretty awesome) because that's clearly the most logical thing to do when one's computer is broken, and when I next turned it on, it worked. It was a lovely dream.

And I do need another player for Diplomacy after all because Mel has work. Or perhaps I could run it and play, since I was mainly not playing for her benefit, I believe (thoughts from other players? I won't be offended if you'd rather I didn't play).
