Actually, it’s been hinting for a while that it wasn’t feeling well. Now the screen goes black and I can’t get it to stay on long enough to reach any program. I’ve been putting off calling Dell because I can’t live without Latitude in my life, even though luckily I have the new main PC up and running.
Even now, I hate to make that phone call, knowing they’ll take Latty away for a while. I keep hoping he’ll wake up and shine bright eyes at me in the morning, feeling chipper and completely over whatever bad bit of spam or whatever he ate that caused it.
