I learned a hard lesson Tuesday, and have come to completely detest computers ! Unfortunately,my computer crashed and I'm sure I aged 20 years. It looked like I had lost the last 5 years of photos, business files , my mailing list , emails, everything . Yes I know , I know I should have backed everything up; some of it was . I had great plans to do that for the past few months but procrastination got the best of me !
Somehow my awesome husband worked his magic and repaired the hard drive enough to recover my files. I quickly learned how to use that external drive I got as a gift in October ! The computer started but we've had to revert to the old way of transferring data by typing out DOS commands. Nothing will copy or paste, I can receive but not send emails, programs are all messed up......the poor computer is old and confused. Just like me lol. I think we have saved the important stuff. If you are awaiting an email from me, I will get to it eventually-sorry.
We are hoping to start from scratch and wipe out the hard drive and start over. If that fails and it is too damaged I guess I'll have to get a new computer. That wasn't on our list of things to buy this year. For now I'll use this borrowed laptop.
I have a another funeral I want to attend tomorrow then I really hope the year settles down so I can focus on bearmaking . I do have 2 cut out and stitched. So that is a good start I guess.
I hope you are having a good week :) Oh, and go backup your computer.....RIGHT NOW !
