eMy crazy computer is now in the shop. A couple weeks ago it was mercilessly attacked by the Blue Screen of Death, but this time there was no finding my way around it in safe mode. There was no escaping the horror. I admit, my PC is nearing the age of retirement, but I didn't think it would go out this early. In human years, I'd say it is 59 1/2. It is still kicking and active, but slowing down, and many of its peers have gone on at a far too early age, while others of its peers will go on for some decent amount of time. Anyways, the repair shop says I can probably recover all my data even if it can't get fixed, and honestly that is what I care about most. While it is annoying to not have a monitor the size of Montana, I can get along just fine with only my laptop (and my mini-laptop when it arrives!), but there were some files that were not backed up, primarily most of my pictures. At least I kept most of my music on my external harddrive... but I emphasize "most." I am thinking that the 1TB harddrive I keep drooling over at the PX has finally found its use for me: a backup harddrive. Some time in the next 2 or 3 months I will get it and backup EVERYTHING on it, and frequently update the backups of pictures and music. I also have all my music (as of October 2007) backed up on three DVD's should all else fail, but if I lost all the music I got since then, that would just be depressing.
