I've been hit with the second computer failure this year, resulting in the loss of a lot of unsaved files, including 10 months worth of photographs, some of which I was hoping to have printed in the upcoming months. The hard drive is shot and I'll have to replace the computer itself, as well. The hard drive was under warranty, at least.
I hope I don't have a repeat of this scenario since I should have the lesson of backing up everything, all of the time, stamped into my brain. I got lazy about backing up my data and am paying for it. Don't be lazy about backing up your files.
So, in the meantime, I'm just doing small tasks on my wife's computer like checking email and updating here and there, but its going to be some time before I'm back with my own. On the upside, I'm going to bed a little earlier...

Oh Tim...you have my sympathies. As soon as i read about your computer failure, I ordered a hard drive (small & portable, and intended for backup only.) My whole hard drive, including all my digital work, is now backed up.
Good luck to you.....
Thanks, Pam, I'm glad my misfortune is helping someone else. I will most definitely be much more careful in the future.
Felicidades/Zorionak, Tim y familia:
Siento tus problemas con este aparato. Yo también ando en la cuerda floja. No guardo nada.
Buenas fiestas de fin de año y que el año próximo tengáis todo aquello que deseáis.
Un abrazo fuerte, AH
