Away from SL

I am away from home for the holidays, and won't be able to sign on to SL until January 3rd. I thought I would be able to sign on with this laptop, since I was able to in the past (but only at about 3 fps). Apparently at some point since I last used this laptop, my hardware stopped being supported. Now it crashes whenever I try to sign in. Not that big a deal really, since I don't really have much time to spend on SL. You can still IM me and I can respond through email. I might even give out my email address or AIM/MSN if you ask. Happy Festivus everyone!
