haha - all I really need is Dean, with or without the rock salt! he can solve any problem just by walking in the room. *swoon*

actually the computer wasn't on when the storm hit - it was fine, but just the computer was connected to the router, which was plugged into the outlet that got hit. my DVD player fried too! gotta love lightning storms!

I couldn't go back to an earlier point in the computer system for restoration because the problem is hardware related - I can only fix it by replacing the mother board. which I can't do for cost!!

thanks for your suggestions and your comments:) *hugs tight*
