Computer Woes
I fell asleep last night with my computer running.
I woke up with a black screen, and the same words, repeating over and over. It was night. I don't really remember them. Something about unable to find a particular piece of hardware for networking.
So I shut it down.
Now, windows won't start.
Nanowrimo starts in two days.
I've been meaning to buy a new laptop... I guess it's time: today.
Last backup... who the heck knows. My DVD burner stopped working some months ago. My external hard drive started acting flaky. I do email the most important files (writing) to myself.
However... My quicken backup is months old. as is my art inventory and sales database. sigh.
I believe I backed up my tax file. I hope. I had not had a chance to print it after filing in September.
I had not yet erased my photographs off my flash drives, so I think those are safe. However, I am not sure about the most recent backups on CD/DVD, as they were burned on the wonky drive.
I hate obsolescence.
*Sigh*
it's off to Circuit City I go, after work.
