I have a working hard drive now, but our first attempt to restore from backup failed entirely. If we can't, I won't lose any fics, but I will lose other things I can't reconstruct. Time Machine makes a backup every hour, so I'm still hoping.

Scott getting angry at my laptop is scaring Cordelia, though.

I am so sorry that you are having to go through this whole saga. Is Cordelia doing okay? That bit worried me - does he realize it's scary for her to see his frustration/anger?

I told him. I have also told him in the past that I get tense/anxious when he's angry with inanimate objects. It's not that I think he'll hurt me; it's that him being upset signals to me that we are all in danger.

For Cordelia, it seems to be that any anger, from anyone around her, at anything at all, makes her think she's done something wrong and that whatever's going on must be her fault.

It's not fair to ask Scott never to get upset, though. He doesn't do anything more than make frustrated noises and raise his voice a small amount when he swears at the computer (or the plumbing or the lawnmower or whatever it is that's not working right).
