My little HP Pavilion has croaked.
It is a premature demise, happening only a blasted 18 months after purchase!!! Even the Geek Squad guy was surprised. Why, they usually last 2-3 years!
That made me feel better...
So I am shopping (which is fun) for a new computer (which is not). Since the motherboard is more expensive to replace than the computer is worth.
Why!?! Why me!?! I liked my little guy...it worked just great for me. Why did he want to leave me???
Sensing all was not quite right, having had some warning signs that something might be amiss, I backed up yesterday to our external hard drive....a week early.
Sometimes my instincts are good.
And sometimes I even follow them.
(What I see, What I've been taught, what I've learned, what amazes me...)

Welcome...
...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.

Oh man! My sympathies on the computer issues. I had a similar little horror story about a year and a half back. Technology can be such a pain sometimes! But then again... it gives us ravelry... So it can't be all bad! haha
Oh, thank goodness you backed up!
My sincere condolances! Although, since misery loves company it made me feel a bit better that my less than one year old laptop only needs a visit to the hospital to fix its wi fi thingy.
I am so sorry for your loss!
But there is another computer out there waiting for a good home.
I truly feel for you. Planned obsolecscence (sp???) is going to be downfall of modern society. I know EXACTLY what you are going through. Hopefully, all your important files transfer to the new computer.
wow good job you backing up!!!! now if that little voice tells you to buy a lottery ticket...........
;-)
Well, your experience compelled me to do what I have put off for about ....10 years! I backed up my computer! You lit a fire!
