When You’re Going Downhill…
It gets faster at the bottom. So as you can see from my last two blogs, I can’t drive my truck because the tires are too big and the new tires haven’t come in yet. The dude I work with still hasn’t paid me. (I’m taking him to court next month). And yesterday afternoon…
My computer melted down! It just froze up and won’t turn back on. I tried a few of the tricks to get it running again, but I think it’s shot. The IT guy here at the station offered to take a look but told me not to hold out any hope.
I’ve backed up a few things, but I will for sure lose a ton of pictures, music, and videos. Not to mention all my financial records for the past two years (I use Quicken). It’ll work out. Things always do. Hopefully Uncle Sam will be good to me and I can get a new computer with tax return money, that’s a pretty tall order for Santa!
Ho ho ho!

You can usually take your computer to a place like Best Buy and they can get your data off your hard drive. that happened to my laptop and I was able to get everything back. the computer was shot, but I had all my pictures and files.
Good luck!

Go to CostCo and buy an external hard drive. I got mine (500GB) for about $200. Back up everything, always!!! And tell Vicky that the putting the hard drive in the freezer does work in some cases. Depends on how badly damaged the drive is. Sorry about your computer!

External hard drives are cheaper at CompUSA. They tend to have the best deals in town. You can also purchase a warranty on the external hard drive so if that freezes, they will take the data out and put it in a new one
you can take your computer to them as well and are a little bit cheaper then best buy. and they are much faster at doing things.
