Am getting my puter back today! Rar! He had to do a clean install of XP so he cleaned off the hard drive which means i will have to reinstall most of my programs. He did do Office and WP and Lotus for me (though i really don't need Lotus anymore). I made a list of everything i could remember and sent myself an email with the links to the download sites as well as my ftp settings for Filezilla. He did make a copy of my old hard drive so i can check there to see what i missed and retrieve some of my other settings like my mail and my bookmarks and favourites etc. I have a second hard drive with most of my documents, mp3s and files and the rest should be on the copies. I did have a backup of all my files from February, too, anticipating the worst. It's too bad it ended up costing me more than the cost of the power supply which i had to have anyway. (he tested the old one and it was indeed baked). So pretty much, yeah, i had to buy a new computer. The only difference is it's still in the old case, i'm still using my old monitor which is only 2 years old and a flat panel one, and i still have my second hard drive with data. Also have a shiny new cordless keyboard and mouse i got for my birthday :) Can't wait to see how fast it will be!
