Morris, The first thing I did was show the laptop to my professor (we're good friends). He laughed when he saw that there was no disk drive or modem. I actually offered to give him the laptop for the weekend, but he made the point that I would have to get the thesis off there someday, so I might as well start transcribing. The funny thing is that similar things have happened with this professor before - zip drive not working, campus computer eating the zip disk (not reading it and not ejecting it), 6 hours of work lost when I somehow didn't save and the campus computer crashed(although I swear I was saving the whole time) - and that was all for ONE PAPER!! For every one of those problems I came running to his office to explain/ask for more time/bring evidence of mechanical failure/ swear I wasn't making it up. He's used to me by now.
