Computer Issue

The recent non-posting is the result of a total hard drive failure. I had to buy a new computer. If you have emailed me recently and haven't heard back, or I haven't posted your stuff this is why. So now I have a pretty sizable backlog of emails. Please bear with me on catching up and posting stuff.

Sorry to hear about that, Inked. Keep up the good work!

All you need to do is buy a new hard drive - not an entire new computer.

242,
the laptop itself is old enough that I'm concerned about other components failing [it had some other issues]. So it really wouldn't have made sense to just replace the hard drive.

Ah in that case getting a new one was probably a good idea. Laptop repairs are usually pretty expensive

Isn't this the second computer that you have burned out?

If you start a computer fund aka NPR, I'll donate. You contribute a lot of time to the community.

Ditto on the computer fund.

Thanks guys. I replaced the hard drive on the other previous computer only to have the system fail 35 hours later due to what was probably equivalent to [different terminology] a motherboard failure [and who knows what else]. So if the laptop is older and has other issues I will harvest parts and just buy a new one.
