Speaking of computers that make strange noises. Mine started to have a horrible 
smell I think it is literally fried. My husband is going to transfer everything 
to an extra one he has so I can get back to work. (at the moment he's at work, 
so I'm using his computer. He spent hours last night but wasn't able to finish. 
I was able to stand the odor for a few minutes and so was able to send out the 
being-scanned and wish list. Hopefully I'll be able to send them tonight
 he can get the new computer with my files on it working tonight.

Wish List (i.e., books wanted added to the collection) and books-being-scanned 
list available at sites below
