No more computer

Well, the hard drive on my trusty desktop Dell finally crashed. My computer has been acting funny for the last several weeks and running really slow. This morning, I heard a funny noise in my office. When I went in there, I realized it was coming from my computer. The screensaver was still showing on the monitor, but it wouldn't let me click on anything. When I tried to restart the computer, it couldn't find the hard drive! I certainly didn't remove it! The worst part is that I may have lost some pics on there. Luckily I upload most of my pics to Shutterfly, but I was a little behind. The IT person at Texas Tech tried to "rescue" my files, but it was too late. MAKE SURE TO BACK EVERYTHING UP ON A REGULAR BASIS!!! I read somewhere that hard drives are either "dead" or "dying." It is just a matter of time before any hard drive will crash!! Now we have to decide whether or not to get a new computer. For now....Jason will have to share his laptop! :)
