computer issues & semi-hiatus

I realized I never made a public post about this, so here goes. Since Thursday I'd been having computer issues, and on Sunday, my computer completely crashed. There aren't any Mac stores nearby me, so I took it to a Bic Camera with a certified Apple desk, and they didn't really diagnose it, but instead just said they were sending it off to Apple where it would be fixed. ;____; I really hope it's fixed soon, and that I don't lose any data, but I guess only time will tell.

For the time being, I bought an HP netbook, but I hate Windows 8 and I hate having a Japanese keyboard, and I'm basically struggling to get anything done >__<;; Using this thing is crazy frustrating. So I may not be around as much as usual. I'm sorry that things have been really crappy lately, but I promise eventually I'll be back to normal and get the JUMP reports done and stuff.

For now, wish me luck!

I think there's a way to install themes that make Windows 8 look/function like Windows 7; might be worth looking into.

Am also having laptop issues. Not as immediately life-threatening as yours, but I'm going to have to replace mine really soon. I'm sympathizing really hard. ;__; I hope it's an easy fix for you.

Oh wow, thanks for the heads up. I'll definitely look into that!

D: I'm sorry! I hope that you can find a solution. Computer issues really suck >__< Thanks for the cheering and support! ♥
