For awhile now, as in, the 12 months or so, our computer has been running really slow and sluggish. We just kept ignoring it. I have a laptop from work that I bring home and we oftentimes use that instead of the desktop. We have a zillion photos on the desktop and a gazillion I-tunes songs. Maybe that's why it's so slow, 'eh? I had been telling myself for EVER to put the photos onto disks just to be safe. I planned on doing it two spring breaks ago when I still worked at the school district. Obviously never accomplished the task, and well, now our computer is just a black screen with an annoying cursor blinking in the upper left corner. Three days ago it worked, today is does not. I can't get it to boot. It acts like it wants to start, and then the black screen comes on. I have worked on it for almost three hours tonight, to no avail. I have searched the 'net for help and I just keep finding tips that are telling me to run a recovery program, but I can't find a recovery program anywhere on the 'net to help. We are going to make some calls to see if someone can fix it - might have to bring in the pros! If we don't recover what's on there I will be so so sad! I have the majority of photos of the girls saved onto disks, but not all of them. I know there's stuff on the computer that I will miss if it's gone for good. Plus Mike has a bunch of papers from graduate school on there, not to mention a ton of poems and short stories! Please let it our computer be saved!!!
