Mother 3 (and the Windows version of Angry Birds, for that matter) can wait until we actually get the hard drive back up to speed. Yesterday, Mom suggested I call Staples and ask them how much they charge for diagnosing and fixing hard drives, and the person on the other end specified $70, which would cover everything they do to treat it except for anything involving software. She then had me email Brian about what might be the best option. He still has yet to get back to me, so Mom told me she'd text him today.
One of Mom's concerns (besides money) is that we're gonna be without a computer when we get around to bringing it to Staples. In that case, maybe it would be best to wait until right before we drive to Massachusetts for Marie's college graduation in May, since we won't be using the main computer anyway. By then, the 100-day fanart campaign will be almost over, if not completely, so most costs of running it should be already paid off at that point. And, of course, I still have Kanji in Context to get back focused on, and I would like to get the second volume for my upcoming birthday.
