I'm currently typing this on my home laptop which has a virus which can't be quarantined or cleaned; can't be scanned properly and can't be defragmented. Short of a major reformat, there doesn't seem much hope for full recovery. Yet I still pretend to myself things are fine during the odd random moments when bootup is not accompanied by shrill warning beeps. Strangely enough, I wonder if I'm projecting myself onto my laptop.
