And you really did know better, didn't you??????????
To paraphrase the commercial.
160GB hard drive $160.
1GB new DDR memory $120
Shop time and labour $69
Having this all be neccesary because the original harddrive had a complete, and apparently unpreventable meltdown. Just one of those things.
Losing everything on the drive, including 7200 pictures because they weren't backed up. Sheer bloody stupidity.
These pictures made the local paper this morning, so at least I have them. I'd been organizing my shots into folders to back them up, but hadn't got around to doing it. This was a mechanical failure, no virus or idiocy on my part. They can happen to anyone at any time for no reason. There's probably a lesson here somewhere, but I'm too distraught to figure it out. If you can, it might be worth heeding. Would those of you with whom I exchange e-mails please e-mail me a blank note, so I can add you to my spiffy new, but empty, address book. I mean EVERYTHING is gone.
On the bright side, I have a lightning fast computer which should last for a few more years, and all kinds of space to store pictures on. It'll take me ages to fill it up before I have to worry about back up.
