abendgulesGot a 'hard-drive warning crash imminent' msg on Friday evening.
Thank small gods for geek friends like HG Alaric, who cheerfully squeezed in home visits to our sick laptop, on top of work, and gearing up for this weekend's feast cooking.
So Robert and I are now both recovering our bits and bobs, reinstalling things we usedtahave. I'm mourning the loss of my bookmarks, but honestly, it's like clutter - if you haven't used it in two years, you probably won't - and the site has probably moved/changed anyway.
Happily, I use Yahoo mail, so nothing lost there - just loss of access.
It was very very quiet in the house on the weekend! No Intawebs, no downloads, no radio listen agains... eerie silence!

Date: 2008-06-26 01:49 am (UTC)Had to have the IT folks rebuild the work machine for the same thing. Mildly amusing Catch-22 - Dell service replaces the disk and installs the OS. But not the drivers - you can download them. The Catch-22 - try downloading your network driver! I used someone else's machine and ye olde USB stick. (Actually ye newe USB stick - I remember in 2004 they were still exotic gadgets.)
