The Computer Died

I guess having a desktop computer for 9 years is a long time, but I wasn't ready for it to just die! Yes, it happened on Saturday. It was working fine in the morning. Nate shut it down in the afternoon because out electrician was here working on the basement and needed to turn the power off. A few hours later I tried to turn it back on and nothing. We feel blessed that we purchased a laptop back in January for Nate to use for work, so at least we have some type of computer in our house (expect when Nate is traveling which is coming up). You may wonder why I am telling you all this sad story, well, when I was realizing everything on the dead computer that I couldn't get access too I realized that all the blogs I watch are on my favorites list on the dead computer which means I have no idea what any of the web addresses are. So, if you read this sad post will you send me your blog web address so I can start a new favorites list on our laptop? I would really appreciate it. We are working on extracting all our docs and pics from the dead computer, but who knows how much we won't be able to get. Now it's on to find a new desktop computer. Goodbye old HP friend of nine years. You have been a great desktop, but at least a new one will be faster! :)

We lost our desk top this past summer, luckily Andy had the drive a week before to back-up everything on an external hard drive so almost everything was saved, but it is trashy. Our blog is adespain@blogspot.com

That's the good thing about desktops...they last. Our laptop is only 3 years old and we are wondering how much longer it will be with us. Enjoy computer shopping!

Ours is chrislara.blogspot.com. I'm thinking of using an online storage site like "dropbox" for my stuff. That way I can access it from any computer or even my smartphone if needed. Good luck!

So sad -- but that is a REALLY old computer :) I actually still have my one from college (no, I don't use it, but I still need to get a few items off it and haven't had the motivation to do so...very very pathetic I know).
