I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my 
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in 
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone 
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow 
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:

Realise I am probably too late but if it has a DVD reading drive I sure

Actually, you ought to consider trying one. The system-wide spelling
checker might help you with the correct usage of the apostrophe, and
maybe, if the moon is *just* right, the ellipse too. :p
