Dead Computer...

Well, I'm testing out this "post from the app" thing because... well, my computer is officially dead. I was using my laptop for a little over a year after my desktop bit the dust, and today my laptop crumbled in the middle of work.

Anyone familiar with me knows pretty well how much trouble my computers give me, and how bad my luck generally is. I'm usually okay with the lag and delays I get when trying to work, and the crashes and losing of work sets me back and angers me... but I usually get back into i after a short break. But now my last computer won't even let me click on a file without beeping and crashing (after a good few minutes of a frozen screen).

This is really troubling because a working computer is necessary for me to work. Drawing is my job, what I do to make my living... believe it or not. I draw for many clients, and as I type this, many of them are waiting on me to finish work. Sadly... right now, I can't. (Of course I can work traditionally, but without a scanner or a computer to clean up that work and make it production-worthy, that point is also moot. Also doesn't help that I'm colorblind, so color correction on the computer is absolutely necessary for someone like me.) It's really distressing, since in order to replace it, I need to make money... but I can't make money if I'm unable to work.

I'm mostly making this post to let anyone concerned with the time I've been taking know what's up. It might be some time before I can work again...
