Thanks. I have a Dell Latitude now.

Welcome back! Seriously, I think there might be a trend going around for computers crashing...

Congrats on the new computer!

COBettaCouple

Cool. Stacy's got a new Dell laptop too.

Congrats on the new laptop! I hope you didn't lose too many files when the old one crashed. My desktop had problems recently and I lost everything I'd saved in the last two months!

Our comp is still down, luckily the laptop that my fil thought was tore up (that I fixed) is working just fine and he has a new one, so we are using his dell until our desktop gets fixed... I am getting accustomed to a laptop though, we are thinking about buying a couple laptops so me and my husband have our own comps.

whats w/ all the comp crashes??

It's Bill Gate's evil plan to take over the world!!

reminds me of an anecdote; "you don't really want it if it's not backed up."

It still bites every time, especially if you did a backup like a week ago but didn't save your last batch of photos or something.

I back up my entire hard drive every night because I've had more than my fair share of crashes. Norton Ghost and a huge external hard drive is a sweet combo. It's expensive, but that's a small price to pay to guarantee my priceless data.

I can't get over our comp, I normally can fix anything and this one has left me stumped!

COBettaCouple

Send it over, we'll fix it.
Storage is getting cheaper and I'll be sticking another 1 Tb drive on this computer that will mirror the drive containing all our data, pics, projects, docs, etc.

sounds like a good idea until the raid controller goes senile and "misplaces" the partitions.

(my most recent foray...haha)

I can't trust the data to a raid.
