6 years of my life did NOT go up in smoke! (Happy Dance) |
|
(OK, there was no actual smoke involved)
My hard drive from my old computer is fine! I can read the data AND it only cost me aprox $17 not the $100 quoted by the stupid Staples person.
My new mantra...I will create back ups.

You will back up your data! You will back up your data! You will back up your data! :hi:
I purchased an external hard drive and I regularly back up all my important stuff to that harddrive.
That also made it easy for me to move all my music from my home computer to work. I just brought the hard drive into the office one day. :)

Which made the get back looking for a job thing rather hard. Plus work samples. All my contacts. I also had tax files etc.

10. Staples computer people apparently rock! |
|
This is one of many stories I've heard recently about how fantastic their customer service and their computer nerds are. How great is that?! Congrats on saving the cash. Glad it all worked out for you! Duckie

13. Backups are our friends |

I could care less about everything on this computer except the 8000+ songs I have uploaded - they get backed up once a week
