Well, I will be a bit behind for a while because the day before yesterday our internet, phone and TV provider's link here at home got struck by lightening and my old computer got totally fried. I had three posts that I was working on but hadn't downloaded yet and they're gone, as are more than half of my pictures because I hadn't yet saved them to my external harddrive yet. My external harddrive survived with much of my stuff thank goodness!
The really good news is I have a new (used) computer that has five times the space that the old one and it's about five years newer than the old one too...but I am having to down load all by bookmarks from the hard copy, and all that is needed for me to operate as well. So I will be spending the next few days re-entering what I have in hard copy and downloading what I can from disk that I have.
I am thankful to be back and will be writing again really soon!
It is so important to back up your hard drive, as you have learned. I am glad that you had much of your stuff backed up to the external hard drive. I'm sorry that you lost more than half of your pictures.
ReplyDeleteI back up my hard drive regularly; however, I can be even more diligent than I am. I think I would be heartbroken if I lost my pictures. I have prints of many of them, but not this past year. I stopped printing pictures the end of last year.
I am glad I had what I did on an external hard drive. I just had so much going on here these last six months.
ReplyDeleteIn a way though it cleared out some of my writings that I should have gone through and gotten rid as well. (I have such a difficult time throwing anything away!)
so sorry to learn that you lost your data specially the loss of pictures; this is really upsetting and sad. Wish you all the best with your new computer.
