Noooooo! I had one die a hard death and now I back up everything in two places. Good thing we have kids to fix it for us. :) Although, mine make me do it myself and watch me, just so I will know how to do it next time.
Isn't that like parent abuse? I am going to tell them it is elder abuse! LOL
I hope it all gets straightened out soon! FYI: I always post on my laptop. I hard sit long enough to work on the desktop and I can sit the computer on the counter while I cook, clean, or even fold laundry. Try that with the desktop!
