The thread for flipping shits (and tables)

My computer refuses to start wholesale-- I have a netbook but that's barely a solution. Don't know why, it was working fine prior to today. While most of my files are recoverable (writing stuff, nearly all of my video games thanks to Steam), if I can't get things to work I'm looking at losing all of my saved sprite-work plus probably blowing a good chunk of money to get anything close to the same level of ability to play computer games.
