technology is great...when it works

Approximately 10 days ago our computer stopped working. We only semi-freaked out because we had backed up our hard drive to an external hard drive...you know, just in case. The only thing was that our most recent back up was 3 months ago. So we knew there was a possibility we would lose the data from that 3 month time frame, but we knew we wouldn't lose EVERYTHING. If you have a PC, you know that fear.

Well it turns out the problem was this...


...the power supply.

Thankfully, that's a completely fixable situation, although it took longer and was more expensive than the 2 days and $100 the guy promised. But the great news: it didn't effect the computer data - we did not lose anything - yea! The first thing we did when we got our baby back home was turn it on, back up everything to the external drive, and breathe a sigh of relief.


It's good to be back.
