Our desktop died this weekend. It was a virus that wiped out everything, then turned the computer off by itself. I will take it in to try to salvage it, but I feel pretty sure that it will never quite be the same.
It's the first time in our history of being computer owners that we've ever had a computer lose everything and it's quite disconcerting.
I am mad that there are stupid people out there who take pleasure in creating havoc with people's computers on purpose.
I am relieved that most of the important things are backed up on a back-up hard drive...pictures, documents, etc.
I am worried about our I-Tunes, since I never could figure out how to back it up to our back-up hard drive and we have a lot of songs on there.
I am kicking myself that I didn't renew our virus protection immediately, but instead let a couple of weeks go by before renewing it. By then it was too late.
I am sad about having to spend the money to buy a new computer.
I am excited to have a fresh start with a fast new computer that doesn't slow down to a crawl every time I open my Adobe Photoshop Elements.
I am so happy that my friend emailed me recently and asked me to email her my sacrament meeting program templates, so that I had them easily accessible in my email sent file on Saturday, rather than having to figure out how to transfer files from my back-up hard drive to my mac.
I am also grateful for another friend who was willing to stay up late on a Saturday night and print the program for me, since my laptop has no way to connect to the printer.
I am already annoyed at having to share my laptop with the whole family.
RIP faithful desktop. :(
