i have to use the school computers for personal business

Wanted to update last night, sure did, but it was Back to School Night.

Back-to-School Night is the LONGEST day for teachers all year. We don't leave school. We're forced to be cheerful. We're not given any coffee. It's sad, really.

Got home pretty late. Tried to update, really, I did, but I noticed there was a black screen where our computer used to be.

"Um, Dad? What's wrong with the computer?"

"The computer Jessica, to put it bluntly, is fucked."

Yep, that Blaster Worm v2.0 raped and pillaged our computer into oblivion. Obliterated pixels sat shattered around the screen.

We have to take it somewhere to fix it as we can't even turn it on without it thinking that a) it is 1998, b) it operates Windows 3.1, and c) it's a ballerina. It's suffering a severe identity crisis.
