And Now A Brief Pause...

(via here)

My computer behaved very badly over the weekend. Very badly. There I was on Saturday morning, composing a lovely post for today and with zero warning, it flatlined. As I type this (on a borrowed computer), it's undergoing diagnostic surgery. So cross your fingers for me and I'll be back as soon as I can. And if I don't return before Thursday, Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

    Unfortunately, the news today was not good. The hard drive is totally corrupted (how? why? and why now?) and it's going to "second tier" Mac specialist tomorrow. I'm so sad...all my photos...all my writing...

    How annoying of your computer! Fingers crossed it will be all right.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you!

    My dear, I'm so sorry to hear that. The computers are not as reliable as paper and pen. I have lost my works before. It really taught me to have back-up. Hope it will be fixed and that all your works on the hard drive are recovered. It's not the end of the world.

    Such heartbreaking news. We've become so reliant on technology, sometimes it's difficult to accept its fallibility. I hope you're able to recover your files!

    I find that talking to my mac keeps him happy and out of mischief
    My sympathy for your lost drive - perhaps it is only the file table that is corrupted and the files can be recovered?
