Email: Piece-of-junk lawnmower [SD]

During my first year as a homeowner, I used to have this piece-of-junk lawnmower that gradually (over the season) lost one, then two, then three wheels (and could not be fixed). It took me hours to mow the lawn (a 3,600 square-foot lot), but I did it. (The mower was free.) But I knew what I was dealing with. I'm saying your PC is in a parallel situation [until Windows gets reinstalled]. ;-}

Fiction is our way of learning the truth in fresh settings other than what we have lived through ourselves, according to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.
