Hard drive failure is imminent...

[strangetomato]

Yeah, that's right - imminent. That's exactly what my computer said.

Sweating? Who's sweating?

I'm not sweating, I'm BACKING UP my game. What else would I do at a time like this? Oh good. It's all copied over to the external hard drive... cc and all. I can breath again now.

I called tech. support, and they're sending me everthing I need to package up the hard drive to send it off to be replaced, which is awesome. In the meantime, I was told to back up anything I don't want to lose. I wonder if he could hear my blood turning to ice when he gave me that line.

At least Ripp finds it funny... this icon is going to serve me well during hard times.

At least your computer was nice enough to warn you about its imminent failure and you were able to back up your files. As long as you have everything safe in your HD, you shouldn't worry about it.

My computer, on the other hand, decided to go with a good old "F**k you!" out of nowhere.

*Eyes the desktop* Yeah, you are still grounded until I find my Office CD. (Not like I'm actually looking for it :P)

That was a blessing, for sure. I'm still able to use it too, but it could go at any time.

Yeah, your situation was worse. You've had some rotten luck with computers, haven't you? I hope your cd turns up eventually.

So many people are having computer issues lately... It's crazy.
