Ok, this isn’t funny any more
Just to reinforce my last post, within two days of each other last week my daughter’s iBook and my work PowerBook had serious breakdowns. (For those of you with PCs snickering at me, you should also know that my PC laptop needed to have its entire logic board replaced four months ago, too.) In other words, every one of the four computers that I either regularly use or have paid for has had some form of major breakdown this year. Every breakdown risked all the data on the hard drive. Even as I write this, the miraculous software I used to rescue my home computer’s data is valiantly fighting to rescue the data on my PowerBook’s dying hard drive. The struggle has been going on for over 24 hours. The good news is that everything important was backed up just a few weeks ago, but it will still be sad to lose that last batch of pictures from the park.
We must really like these things to put up with all this trouble!
