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.

I have to run backups all the time on my photos, one shoot tends to take 17gb, so I made a habit of making sims backups while I was at it. Thank the gods I do, my epic motherboard failure of last year was painful. Literally. I'd be playing BF2 & lining up a shot when BAM!; the whole pc would freeze & there'd be this ungodly high pitched scream coming through my headset. This was always followed by a sudden fit of jumping back from the screen, shrieking & ripping headset off with total disregard for hair remaining in scalp.

[sigh] you're so lucky yours warned you. But they come in threes don't they... so my friends list just hit two..... [hides]
