Well, at the end of last week my old laptop started acting sick. I could hear a ticking/clacking sound as it tried to access the hard drive. It set off alarms bells in my mind, but before I could even start moving my files and photos off, it died. Holy Crap! I didn't lose any important files, but I did lose gobs and gobs of photos, including my recent Christmas shoot. Fortunately, the originals are still on my camera, but I had done a bunch of work on the ones I liked. I totally blame myself as I knew the importance of backups, but it still stinks!
I hope to be back to posting pictures soon! I've got a Wordless Wednesday photo on my camera, it just needs to make it someplace my blog can get it!
Oh no!!! Maybe you can take it and have at least the photos restored enough to get them off.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts as well (see Mary's post). I use Mozy.com as a cloud backup (for my work computer) and I love it. It backs up automatically twice every 24 hours. Not an expensive subscription.
ReplyDeleteComputer ticking and clacking is never gonna be a good thingy!
ReplyDeleteThey are a bit like cars, fine while they are going, a real pain when they aren't and always expensive to fix!

Oh no!! I'm so sorry that happened! Laptop troubles are the worst!
ReplyDeleteOh no! That's awful; I'm so sorry!
ReplyDeleteOh, that sucks so bad! When my laptop died I was able to take it to someone and he got all my files off for me. Maybe you could do the same?
ReplyDeleteBoo on that! Hope your computer issues are resolved soon!
ReplyDeleteOMD, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND!!! Ma's having puter issues too! At least you kept the pics on your camera! I will send POTP to you puter...I've been sendin' it to Ma's...not sure if it's doin' any good though...☺
ReplyDeleteKisses,

That so sucks and luckly last week I heard noises so I saved all my pictures again. Hope you can get them back.
ReplyDeleteThat happened to us recently too! Oh, the heartache. We had to buy a new computer (and we got one with tons of memory) and a external hard drive so we can back up everything all the time. We feel your pain.
