Surprise of surprises... my hubby bought me a Dell computer % ) Who have thought it? 4 Gig memory, 500 Gig harddrive. Quad processor. Suppose to be fast. The monitor arrived yesterday and the tower probably will show up tomorrow. What a shocker.

Monday, I lost my external hard drive. The electric went out and zapped it. I tried working all day to find a way to retrieve my contents. I worked til 12 am and decided to go ahead and go to bed. So I shut down the computer and unplugged my ehd from all sources of power. And prayed for a miracle. Tues morning after I had taken my son to school. I plugged up my ehd and plugged it into the computer, then powered up. I didn't get the messages I was getting previously. Like, found usb device cannot find driver. So I checked the 'my computer' and there it was! It's called 'Scrapbooking'. It's where I keep all my scrapbooking stuff. It's almost full. So I have been busy backing up, since it scared me half silly.
Later gators....
