Death of a Computer

Death is part of life, but I did not think it would be part of my computers young life right now. When I sent the computer with Melissa and Elliott, I had no doubt that he would be able to retrieve the old data (most importantly, ALL Of my pictures) and then rework things so the computer would function again. Last night, I got the VERY bad news that retrieving the information (PICTURES and everything else) is probably not going to happen. Elliott, who is a computer know it ALL, has been working on mine for 2 days with no success. He said he can get it operating for a small price but getting everything off of it looks pretty impossible. I really feel like someone or something has died. ALL of my pictures are on that hard drive and if you know me you will not be surprised that the vast majority of them are not backed up anywhere. UUUGGGG! Yes, I have learned a lesson from this; a VERY hard lesson.
So Ashley, when you get back on track I really want to look into slurping my last blog into a book. I posted many pics on it that I may not get back any other way.
Lesson to all who have kids and cherish pictures: BACK THEM UP, BECAUSE DEATH IS PART OF EVERY COMPUTER'S LIFE AND IT IS UNPREDICTABLE!!!
