The fates really hate it when I do that, and punish me smartly.
My less than six month old computer broke and is on its way back to the factory to have its little hard drive wiped while it's being fixed. And I spent days and days trying to get a complete working backup of everything I could think of backing up when it kept crashing and only booted once in twenty times at most. Then putting it on my old computer, which fortunately I still have.
So... I feel lucky in my unluckiness. At least it waited until my deadline was over. And it let me (with a lot of effort) back up everything - I hope. And I do still have this old computer.
But... Maybe the fates wouldn't have zapped me if I hadn't talked about being caught up.
Phillipa, I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you. I will, I promise.
