Well, I'm back on Malfactor now, though things are not at all well. Here's the story, morning glories.

Malfactor is old. Malfactor is VERY, VERY old. He is 7 years old, to be precise, and in computer time that is nearly a millenium. Let me explain to you how Malfactor (and many other computers) work(s). He has little discs inside his hard-drive, with little arms that read the discs. Because his owner is a dumbass who does not run ScanDisk, after a while these little discs begin to get errors on them. These errors build up, like cancerous tumors, getting worse and worse until they simply cannot be fixed. In addition to that, these arms have been working for a looong time and they are quite tired. It's kind of like having an old and sick friend hanging around that you keep trying to pump life into but they just don't respond. That's how Malfactor is. He's old and sick and he's tired of living.

I understand that, I do. But I can't just waltz up to Dad and say 'Can I have a new computer?' because we just don't have the money. So I'm just going to sit here and hope that he doesn't die flat-out until we do. Tell you what, though, I am NOT bringing this senile old fool to college. x__x;
