Erm...

My laptop is ticking. That's probably not a good thing, is it? (And no, I didn't leave a clock underneath it...) Actually ticking, as regularly as a clock... It never has before... I wonder how worried I should be...

I'm not sure that it's any comfort but when my Vaio died it didn't tick - nothing so lively... My Compaq also died but was resurrected by having its filters cleaned. It was running very hot before that and the fan was constantly on. Maybe that could tick?? Shows how technical I'm not!! But I do hope it all turns out to be temporary and curable. And an external hard drive for backups lets you sleep at night.

Oh, I'm all about external harddrives - mine is sitting glowing gently at me right now, having been given a wee update tonight... *g*

Good to know that your Vaio didn't tick, too! The fan sounds alright - I'm hoping it was maybe a piece of dust caught in a tick-y sounding place right now (see, I can do technical too... *g*) Hmmn, it feels a bit hot, but then it always has, I think...

And look at you - posting from Portugal! *g*

I feel as if I've rejoined the human race. You're right about how much we rely on our computers! Access is still intermittent and I'm having to train myself to unplug in case of power cuts. But it's wonderful!!
