My hard drive is dead

Dell has pronounced my hard drive dead. They're going to send someone to replace it. Soon, I hope. I'm tired of having to use my wife's computer.

I also hope that was the cause of the slow internet speeds I've had with the new computer ever since I got it last spring. But I suspect it wasn't. More likely that was a Vista problem, perhaps combined with a cable problem, because my wife's computer, is also pretty slow with the internet (it was faster when we were on the motel wi-fi when we were on vacation).
