My computer died

(don't worry I didn't actually do this to my computer,
the photo just represents what I would like to do to it!)

My computer died, and even my uber-geek husband can't get it going again. I'm going to have to drive it 2 hours to the store we bought it from to get the geeks there to retrieve my data. Even though I was sure I had backed up all my important images I still find myself without an alarming number of needed files. I am stuck with my slooow laptop until the computer doctors can bring my pc back to life. Isn't it a bit scary how much we rely on our computers now? I didn't even realise how much I needed it until it died.

Normal transmission will (hopefully) resume soon.

  1. That is my worst nightmare! I do mostly digital art so it's all on my computer. I don't archive as often as I should so I live in a state of constant anxiety over losing my images! Hope you computer is better soon and you can retrieve your missing images!

  5. I feel your pain, man. My computer kicked the bucket a few months back leaving me only my crash-prone laptop. Hope you're up and running at full speed again soon!

  6. I am so sorry to hear of your computer crash. I hope that it can be revived. Your post has also reminded me that it is time for me to back up some of my work. Good luck!
