Dammit Jim, I'm an Artist, Not an Escalator!
Hi! Ok, so my 3 month old, expensive and fancy computer decided to die on me. *facepalm* It's still under warranty, so the company (Gateway, they suck balls) has no interest in fixing my computer (it's apparently a hardware malfunction?) and just wants to replace it for me. Nevermind that I spent the past 3 months customizing it, having a techhead delete bloatware and set up all my emails and bookmarks, installing over a thousand of dollars worth of software, and organizing what was supposed to be my artist work platform for the foreseeable future. Yes, I cried.
The good news! Um, I get a brand new computer that may do the same thing in three months? :'{ The (extra) bad news: despite paying a lot for the original computer and $140 for the extended warranty (how can I lose? lolol) through Fry's Electronics, those bastards want to charge me $70 to retrieve my files for me. You know, to hook up a cord, press a button, and wait 5 minutes. This is worth $70, and is not included in the multiple warranties I have. I can't afford it, especially considering the only not backed up/irreplaceable files are some Star Trek artistic WIPs and THIS, my ksvalentine contribution.<--go look. Hours and hours I spent on my picture, and since I used a combination of real media and digital media, the only copy that now exists of it is the small one on my photobucket used to post it online. The original file with all the many layers and massive resolution (this thing was something like ~15"x8" @300dpi) is lost to the ages unless I cough up $70 within a week. So! Here's where you lovelies come in:
***The better news! A friend of mine was able to get my files for me, for free!***
♥ Anyone who wants a high resolution copy of the picture Bibliophile emailed to them & my undying love, message me your email! No donations necessary after all. :D :D :D
I already love you for taking the time to read this! Thank you so much to any and all well-wishers and supporters. Now go have a good day~♥
