Well over the last week or so, I've had both of my laptops go down. The older one I use for streams, got infected with so many viruses/malware as to render it useless and my primary gaming machine went down with technical problems. I decided that after several days without real computer access, that I couldn't stand it anymore. The older machine went to a shop for cleaning and the other needed to be repaired.

My brother came down and took a look at and figured out that I was having a hard drive failure and I needed to replace it. I now have a 240G SSD drive and have upgraded to Windows 8. I'm looking forward to how much faster the machine will be and just need to pick up the other machine later on today. It'll be nice to have a working system again.
