It’s back, and they did not reformat the hard drive. The keyboard seems to be working. I’ll check the battery later, as I simply don’t want to have to reboot. But geez, it’s nice to have a 17-inch screen again.

And my own email. I didn’t transfer Thunderbird to the loaner laptop (of course), so I was checking my mail via the web mailbox, which is inefficient, primitive, and annoying. Plus it was on a much smaller screen.

Aaaah. The sound you are hearing from this post is a great big sigh of relief. I am typing at over 100wpm on my laptop again. Life is good.
