Last Sunday my modem died :'(so on Monday I did a deal with my service provider and they sent me a new modem 'free of charge'. :D It arrived on Thursday and I had a few problems with connection ???and had to go to the local computer shop they asked me to take my computer in to them, so I dropped it off & they said that it would be ready to be picked up in 1 hour. Went back a little earlier and the lady at the desk asked if I had had a noise when it was switched on yes I said its just the fan (because that was the problem once before), no said the lady the hard drive is dying. C#*p. :-[ While thinking that the computer tech. came out looking very sheepish and told me that it had just died. :'( Yes I lost the lot. :'( Thankfully I had backed up all of my photos, :D but nothing else. >:( So I have spent a fair bit of today putting back things I can remember, ??? wrong time to have a seniors moment. ::) So the moral of this story consists of 3 parts. 1 don't do deals to get a free modem. 2 Listen to the computer when it is making a weird noise and 3 backup EVERYTHING. :-*

Yeah my son in law is going to get one for me and show me what to do, because I don't want to go through this again. It is not fun.

My computer is back in the shop, the stupid thing won't let me install Office or my photo program says I don't have enough memory when there is more than the other computer had. Some times I hate technology.
