There is no laptop in Landland. This BlackBerry is my only link to my email and the rest of the world! I feel so helpless. And really it's not terribly different from yesterday, or last week, or a month ago, when I had my laptop but it was slow and frustrating and aggravating!

Somehow, having a blank spot on the desk -- coupled with knowing that I might have to restore all my data and track down all the software I need -- makes me feel small and disconnected and anxious.

But I know Scott will make it right! He'll get the malware removed and the service packs installed and the system back up and running at sufficient, if not stellar, speed!
