uh oh

My computer hard drive suffered catastrophic failure over the weekend, and I was not able to re-start it.

Now it needs diagnosis and data recovery help.

I probably need to buy a new CPU.

I knew better, but did not have all the latest/greatest info. on there backed up, so I will lose some unless it can be recovered.

Most of what wasn't backed up I don't care that much about, except for some photos.

It seems that this will be an expensive and somewhat time-consuming lesson for me to learn.

...posting this from someone else's computer...

(sigh...)
