Computer woes
Jan. 4th, 2011 05:30 pmThe hard drive died on my main computer (the old laptop, not the new one). It was possible to recover some of the data but by no means all. We're having a new hard drive put in, because the computer has been a bit wonky for a while, peeping for no reason and sometimes locking up and having to be restarted, and we think the drive was at fault.
But it will have "brain damage"--be missing a lot of my old files and stuff. It looks like the computer guy recovered what I need to do the (overdue) League of Women Voters booklet, and Kip's game files, but it won't be the same.
Also I have to find out how to move my iPod to a new computer without losing all the information on it. It's not the music so much; most of it is ripped and I can just rip it again--it's my calendar and contacts and stuff.
We'll see. Probably I'll have the old laptop back tomorrow.
