This is probably going to sound rather bad.
However, I'm not in a position not to ask.
Bunny lady's own computer started dying a few months ago. It's probably about five or six years old - was quite good at the time of purchase, but right now, it's basically teetering on the edge of self-combustion. She managed to get an old laptop donated from a friend; this is five years old but was running quite well, with up to date programs. It already had Office and I loaded GIMP on it so that she could edit and post rabbit photographs on Petfinder. We thought everything was fine.
This newer computer now refuses to turn on. She is going to try and get someone to fix it (she's not that computer savvy, and honestly, what do you DO when your laptop won't even power on for more than one second?) but I'm not going to keep my fingers crossed. I mean, everything I've touched (about six computers, one PSP, one PS2, the stereo I bought my mom, the stove we bought for the apartment, don't even talk to me about telephones) has gone up in flames, messily - I actually pay for warranties these days.
Does anybody have a laptop or desktop tower that they are not using, and are willing to donate to rabbit rescue? We are basically screwed if her old computer doesn't limp along until she can get some kind of replacement. Half of her rescue correspondance is through email, as are most of her records.
