What if the candle has twice the fuel?

I'm going to talk to the local computer repair guys about possibly seeing about getting it turned into an external drive, where I can hook it up to a new computer.

As was said earlier, disk enclosure.
If your new computer has USB 3.0 (on Windows machines, it's a blue USB port, on Macs, it is if it's one of the laptops released in June), get an enclosure with that. If it doesn't, then it depends on what ports your computer has. eSATA is a good one, FireWire is OK, USB 2.0 will work but is suboptimal. (If your computer doesn't have USB 3.0, a USB 3.0 enclosure will still work, but it'll act like a USB 2.0 one. eSATA and FireWire require those ports to be present, and it's hit or miss whether they're present on a random computer, which is why USB 3.0 is preferred - it'll work on just about anything.)

Then it's not a candle, it's a lantern.

Since there have been a number of comments here, I have started a "Dead And Dying Computers" thread in CLIKC.
Dr. ROFLPWN:
I'm hoping Tai and Dora last long enough to have on-screen lovin' and inspire a massive forum shitstorm. Everything after that is just gravy. 8-)
(to forego any rightful harrumphing from ye mods, I give my word of honor I have learned my lesson and shall simply sit on the sidelines giggling like an idiot at the chaos rather than wade into the fray.)

What happened to it?
Did you download a virus?
Did you download 423,827 viruses?

While I grieve for jwhouk's machine, too, I must say that this quote, in addition to the cut of your jib, makes me like the sound of your town.
