I tease my husband a lot about being a geek. He was a computer geek before, well, before anyone knew what a computer geek was! Sometime between Sunday night and Monday morning my computer crashed. I mean major! It was so crashed it couldn’t even boot up enough to tell us it had crashed. I am thinking that all my stuff is gone, e-mail, files, pictures, bookmarks, everything. So PIC determines that my hard drive has gone bad, very, very, bad. That means a new computer right? Something we cannot afford, so that would mean no computer. AAAAA….that is what keep me sane! PIC calmly explains that “no, it doesn’t mean a new computer, it means a new hard drive, and those are about 80$”. Whew, we can swing 80$. So he proceeds to order us a new hard drive and had it second day aired to us. That is all well, and good, but what about my stuff? My pictures? My e-mail? My files? I didn’t want to say anything to him, I figured that there wasn’t anything that could be done, and I didn’t want to frustrate him. I would just have to start over with everything. He came home that night with a nifty little gadget, call an “external USB port” …I seriously know what that is, I really do, I swear! He pulls out my sad broken little hard drive and pops it into his nifty gadget. Viola….it is getting my stuff. My files, pictures, e-mail…all that! Yesterday the new hard drive came, PIC spent the evening installing the new hard drive and setting everything up, he even installed Vista. He also restored all my files, e-mails, and pictures! WOOHOO!! I LOVE my little computer geek boy! YAY!!!
It’s great to have you back. I was starting to worry about ya. I’m glad to hear it was the computer that crashed and not you. Tell PIC that he’s a genius. I’m so glad that hubby’s can figure that kind of stuff out, mines not a computer geek , but he knows a heck of a lot more than I do!
it helps that computers are what he does for a living….he has learned a few tricks along the way
I was getting worried when you hadn’t posted for almost a week! Great to see you are back in business!
Oh I knew there must be a major reason why you had been away for SO SO long! I am glad you are back on the blogging circut. YOu are lucky you have a live in computer geek we have had to pay big bucks for one more than once!! When you count your blessings count mike twice!
I laugh that my hubby can’t fix a car or do other forms of intricate manual labor (I told my friend I suspect that’s why he’s no longer the eq pres. – he can’t fix a bloomin’ thing!), but man can he fix a mean computer! Yay for computer geeks!
All I can say is yeah! I knew why you were gone, but I still missed you!!
