poor lappy, poor poor lappy

Tuesday I had the experience that all computer users fear. Lappy's hard drive failed. It will be known in the future as Black Tuesday. Fortunately it is only four months old and still under warranty. The second fortunate thing is that we were able to recover most of the data and I had done a backup on Sept 15th. So with minimal pain I will be backup and computing. In fact tonight I'm using lappy with the new hard drive. It's just not all configured the way I like it.

So please friends and family learn from my experience. Hard drive failures are a matter of when not if. Please, please, please backup your important files, pictures, and music. Anything that you would be sad or upset if it were gone in a moments notice.

Ok, lecture is over. :)
