Computer Holding Pattern

Just a quick computer update.

My computer is still at the Computer Dr. Apparently I had a hard drive crash, not necessarily due to the kids playing on it.
More likely just a bad hard drive. As everyone knows, these things happen quite often. :-(

The Dr. hopes to recover some to most of my files (he can't make any promises) and will be installing a new hard drive AND setting up an automatic backup system on an external drive. I can't get fast speed internet where I live, so even though my husband has Mozy and loves them, I can't use them because my wireless internet is too slow... But no matter what happens to my computer this time, next time I will be more prepared.

Anyway, I have moments of panic, but a part of me is enjoying not having a computer at home for a few days. It is quite nice spending my evenings watching the news and reading books and talking to my husband! Is this what people did in the dark ages (before computers)?

I will know more by Monday. I am keeping my fingers crossed and saying little prayers that my image files will be OK. But no matter what, everything will work out.

I wish everyone a great weekend! And I will be back in business next week blogging and blog designing like normal. I will let you know if my computer had its last rites or came back home from the hospital. :-)
