Oh dear, I was wondering dear. I have been there and can feel your pain. NEVER try to adjust your pearls and sip a cocktail at the same time over the laptop. Just a hint.
Oh, shit. It has happened to us, and I sympathise. Back up everything sweetie! [And LX is right - hard discs can be recovered - if at a rather hefty price, which is why we haven't done it yet...] Jx
My, that's a nice little broche you have there, sweetie. Did you pin it on your third nipple? And I'm sure I have an old picture of my grandmother wearing almost the same hat except it was green. Now what was that you were talking about... some blender that crushed...
I sympathize...tsk. It's happened to me more than once (one day I'll back everything up, I promise!). Sadly, there's the helpful NSA service which surely has a copy of all your files. Bastards...
So sorry for your loss. I have what resembles a Frankenputer on my desk. Cobbled bits and pieces from 4 deceased or diseased computers. You can take the hard drive and connect it as a slave drive to another computer and try to salvage info that way. Just a thought. BTW Microsoft sent me a lovely message that they will no longer support XP and that I should buy a new computer because without support it will whither and die and things will only get worse. I got a Macbook in anticipation of the untimely death of my beloved old friend.
Oh Norma, mein herzliches Beileid !
ReplyDeletethank you mago darling, i know that translates into something divine!

DeleteShall we pass the hat?

ReplyDeleteOnward!
