So, stupid me didn’t backup my hard drive, and when my power supply decided it was time to go bye-bye, and take my motherboard along for the ride, I was forced to go and see the sleazy local computer guy who I swore I would never go to after he buggered up my last computer. But hey, he’s cheap, and I didn’t have the cash for a super computer, so he was my last resort.
I picked it up today, after 2 weeks of digital nothingness, and he assured me that everything would be just as it was. I was most worried about my art files, and the programs I use to make them. Well, for some stupid reason, he decided that the 10+Gig Poser folder wasn’t needed, and he didn’t think much of the Photoshop one either, so he killed them, along with all my other programs, security, bookmarks, and all my settings.
I am very unimpressed, but it’s my fault really. I should have backed up my computer more often (or at all). You would think I’d have learned my lesson since this has already happened twice so far. Me feeling very stupid.

ash – Go out and buy a USB type backup drive and use it for backing up your important files

Is that USB type back up called a ZIP Drive? I have heard of them, but I still get scared that something will go wrong and I will lose the data anyway…Normally I manually archive all my files CD by CD…Hour by hour, day by day, week by week…should be done in the next fall sometime…... Sorry Ashlynmm.

Flash drive….
it’s been on my wish list since the first time my computer died. I still have the un-useable hard drive here, to remind me to backup (which I never do). Maybe I should tie a piece of string around my finger ;)
Good news… The computer guy had a full backup of my computer, so I took it to him and he loaded my whole poser folder back onto the computer. Just putting everything back in it’s rightful place now, and I can play again! WOOHOO!
