Nemu Hospitalized

I’ve stated at numerous intervals that I’ll be buying new computer eventually. More specifically, as soon as Reki (Athlon900 desktop) stops working. Reki’s still working.

Now, following the plotline of Haibane, Washi (the Communicator) tells Reki that Nemu is more worried about seeing Reki leave than about leaving herself. It is certain that Nemu has already overcome her trial, yet she’s been in Glie longer than any of the other Haibane. Her concern for Reki holds her there, and Nemu will not move on until Reki overcomes her trial and passes over the wall.

Now, Reki is still working through the final days of her trial, but Nemu has fallen ill. A failed harddrive, to be specific. We’ve lost 20gig of non-critical data. She’s going to need invasive surgery. It is certain, however, that she will not be passing on yet, as she is bound to wait until the Day of Flight comes to her sister in feathers.

I don’t really have the money for the help she needs right now. And in the meantime, I’ve got no machines with a graphical web browser at home.

Update 2006-06-15: Replaced the harddrive, and in doing so I managed to fry the memory controller on the mainboard.
Update 2006-07-17: Almost 6 weeks later, I have replaced the motherboard. Sleepyhead is back.
