My computer is back home
Just a brief word for now. I am back up and running and have lots to post about, but not now. I am too tired from reloading everything back onto my computer. I sent it back to HP and yes, they replaced the broken thingamajigs (yes, that IS a technical term), but they also wiped the computer clean, like it was brand new.......just like when I purchased it almost 3 months ago. Unfortunately, only 2 of my 4 back up disks would work to reload my files. I think most of my photos are intact, except for scans. I lost most of my documents, including my resume, and Gary's resume, and many downloads. Only part of my music files transferred to I-tunes. Tomorrow, I will be phoning HP to see if I can recover anything from the two disks that wouldn't transfer. Any ideas from out there would be appreciated........ I HATE COMPUTERS SOMETIMES. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DON'T WORK AS PROMISED.

Don't ya hate it when that happens.. A new pc and tons of work to get it back to where you want it
Welcome back. You have been missed. I am so understanding your pain and grief and angst and frustration, too.
I back up to an external hard drive, but am always wondering if what I need will come back to me when I want it to.
Here's hoping it is all smooth from here on out.
Glad to see you got your computer back... I would definitely get an external hard drive and do regular backups of your stuff. You never know when your computer will crash again!
Glad your back. I know how you feel about computers. It's a love hate thing!
I just signed up for www.mozy.com they give you free 2gb of encrypted online storage. That should be enough for some pictures and some important files. Also, I think you can pick up a 4gig usb storage device at bestbuy for less than $20. Hope you never need to use it :)
