Re: Re: TAG quotes
All I ask is that you pray to the computer gods that the hard drive isn't
damaged. As I said to Cheryl, at first I didn't panic, because I always back
up regularly. THEN I remembered that the last time I backed up was BEFORE the
convention on the OLD lap top, which is now in Brazil with Dr. Chao, after
having its brain wiped clean.
Since then, between the convention and the surgery, I never even thought about
it until I opened up this computer to work, and realized there is NOTHING on
here. The ridiculous thing is that I very carefully saved all the photos from
the convention to CD's first thing after the convention... But didn't think of
all the REALLY important stuff like my text files. If I don't get it back, you
can forget about contributions from me to the "AGA library" for a while. I
don't have a single article.
The only good news is that I'm fairly sure it isn't a virus, because I run
Norton daily, and all attachments are scanned as they come in. Of course, I
could always be the first on the block to get a new one, but I don't even want
to GO there.
