My computer has finally karked it. I knew the hard drive was on its way out, but it went overnight. I'll have a new HD very soon, I hope, but in the meantime I can use Greg's PC with its unfamiliar keyboard (with "delete" and "end" etc in all the wrong places) and no Firefox. And none of my bookmarks. At least mine was all backed up.
That's a British expression meaning a task has been completed properly, and in this case it's literal. I now have a new hard drive (well, new to me--it's Greg's old one which he replaced with a much bigger drive a while back) and while we were putting it, we took the opportunity of cleaning the dust off the fans and other components. It only took about 30 minutes to restore from backup, so I'm baaaack, and with a drive that doesn't thrash around due to bad sectors. :-D [pats drive] I shall defrag you frequently.
I'm lucky to have a resident computer tech, and a much better-tempered one than Avon.
