Technologically Deprived

It's funny how we get accustomed to, even dependent upon, technology that perhaps we didn't even know existed a few years ago.

Our home server has crashed. The hard drive is ka-put. This server runs our Myth TV and my scanner, both of which I'm missing very much at the moment. For those of you who are Linux impaired, Myth TV is basically an opensource (i.e. free) version of TiVo or Direct TV. I've lost all the shows that I'd recorded and lined up to watch in my "free" time. And now while I'm stuck with daytime TV, I can't even capture whatever creations I might art up because my scanner is incapacitated too!
