scary...
I was pretty much finished with my facility design project. My computer was slowing down from too much graphics work with too many large files, and it kept bugging me to restart for AVG. I'd been planning to backup my files to my flash drive in just a few minutes...
I restarted... and my computer wouldn't boot up. My main computer. With the programs and files I need to survive the next week. I tried shutting it off and turning it on again. And again. And letting it stay off for a while. And turning it on again. I took out my flash drive and my SD card, even though they shouldn't have been a problem. Still nothing. Naturally, I did what any sane person would do - panic.
Jason came over to take a look. By that time, my mind had already progressed to taking back the Mac from him, because it's got at least some of the programs I need, and my external enclosure from Mer to get into my hard drive for the files. Of course, in my panic, I'd forgotten about something, and Jason solved the problem with one question - "Do you have a floppy disk in there?" It's amazing how fast I can go from tears to laughter when such a huge problem can be solved so easily and quickly. I still can't believe I didn't think of it myself.
Back to work. 8 more days.
Good luck to all of you who are finishing up the semester. And especially to the rest of the seniors.
