seawaspKathy's computer decided to stop booting this weekend. So I took it in this morning.
Hard drive is borked. They're not sure if they can recover anything from it or not.
So I'm out something like $300 and Kathy's out whatever wasn't backed up on the drive, which could be quite a bit.
On the positive side (trying to stay positive here), I don't need to buy her a brand new computer -- which I couldn't, at this point -- and she'll have a VASTLY larger hard drive this time (I think something like five times her prior drive's size).
