hamstergirl... this was only a small part of your post, but I would never judge someone because they "have a computer". Of course I know how important that is as a means of contact, but even if I didn't I think people who go around assuming and judging are just stupid. Which I think is your point anyway.
The other thing is that I might have a "clunker" computer here somewhere that I may be able to get working again. Do you know the basic specs of your computer... what kind of processor, how much memory? Just to compare what I might have here to be sure it will run what you need it to. If you can't run the software to connect to the internet it won't do you much good. You can PM me if you don't want to broadcast your computer specs.
I can't do anything while I am in crisis mode now, but if things clear up for me in a few weeks or a few months, I can take a look and see if I have a "backup" for you.
