My Computer Killed Itself

Ok, well, at least I know know why my picture never posted.

Had I stuck around for a few more minutes this morning, I probably would have actually witnessed my computer and all associated files committing mass suicide. Apparently something horrid as occured to the hard drive, as indicated by a delightful blue screen telling me my laptop had been ocularly raped with a fork. This was again verified when I took my now two pound paper weight into the tech help office, where I left it with the knowledge that when I saw it again, it would not recognize me, nor I it.

"We'll call you if we are able to actually save anything," are the exact words that billowed from her mouth like so many hateful mosquitoes. So yeah, hard drive: Gone. Two years worth of work: Bye-bye. God knows how much music and video: Nada. Everything. Gone.

I feel for ya. It's happened to me twice where I didn't have my stuff backed up and my computer died. It just happened again last week but luckily I had just backed up all my files on Aug.19th. I'm currently waiting for my new hard drive to arrive... Sad

Oh, wow. That sucks, Will. You can't salvage anything? They hard drive is completely gone?

Yep, that's right. They couldn't save a thing, except for the vital documents I had had the foresight to back up. However, most (if not all) of my programs are gone, as are all of my music and movies.

That blows. It goes beyond blowing. It defies the laws of physics by both blowing and sucking at the same time.
