Let me tell you about my fun experience this weekend.
I turned on my laptop, waited, and then waited some more. Nothing happened so I turned it off and tried again. Something wasn't right. I tried off and on all day Saturday (my birthday of all days, lol) to get it to boot up Vista (of which I am NOT a fan). I had some work to do on the church website and I needed to be online. I finally gave up and unhooked my modem to bring to our desktop computer downstairs.
After doing some research, I think I may have lost all my files. All. Of. Them. Pictures, ALL my homeschool documentation for the whole school year, all my church software, everything. I thought I had backup my homeschool stuff on a flash drive, but can't seem to find the file. I meant to back up all my pictures, but just hadn't got around to it yet. The church software was fairly new, but I had everything set up and ready to go and was using it for our new church. Since it was so new, I didn't back that up either. I am sick.
Lesson for the day. BACK UP EVERYTHING YOU MAY WANT/NEED *frequently*, on another form of media, JUST IN CASE!! You never know when you may need it.
I have not decided what to do about it yet. We have some friends that may be able to help us. We will have to see. If they can just get those particular files off and safe, I will be one happy camper and will not procrastinate backing up again!
