Our computer has crashed!

Among the top excuses for our blog being so behind is the fact that we couldn't add any more pictures to our computer. We thought by moving them all to an external hard drive would help, but now the computer has just died. Thank you to Mark who tried to revive the thing yesterday for most of the afternoon. And so, our blog remains ever locked in November until we can break down and buy a computer. We have never had to buy a computer. We have used my old work ones, but the 486 is just not cutting it anymore. Any recommendations? We have heard good and bad about Macs and other varied opinions about PC brands. Here's hoping we can find something soon and get our blog back on track.
