(no subject)
thanks for the thoughts everyone...I am also thankful I have a backup pc now that is in my son's room, with wireless. And all my homework can be (re)done on it. Just that right this second, he's sleeping in this very room.
and yes, it is nice it is still under the first year waranty, but I'd pay so much to get those photos back (just not quite the couple thousand it would take to recover them)...though this pc has the photos of his first 2 yrs on it. Lost are all those mp3s I've bought in the past 6mos. And from the looks of my backups, I don't have any docs or photos.
the worst part of this is the shame I feel for being so stupid cause it is my fault I wasn't well backed up.
and in all my desire to believe it wasn't me or my mac that failed, I would like to point out that I was running Word for mac and had 12 docs open simultaneously when it happened. I should have noticed that my machine had started running like a pc (sluggish) right before it happened.
so go back up your stuff.
