It appears as if my machine is toast. I have some standby equipment, but nothing I can work with (for example, a nearly ten year old desktop). I’m not sure of the near-term future of the strip, but it looks pretty bad. I’ll let everyone know when I know more.
On a completely unrelated note, if anyone is interested in original art, commissioned works or the like, I may need to raise money for a new machine and I might be highly interested. You know, totally unrelated.
