And the moral of the story is... get thee a hard drive

[unusualmusic_lj_archive]

Sent my main computer to be cleaned of what I thought was a virus. Turns out there was something wrong with the Windows XP installation itself, something about it being trapped in a loop. The computer had to be...wiped. completely. clean. That was about 3000 songs from Itunes. Luckily some of them were backed up on CDs. But the latest weren't, because there was a problem with the cd case, and it gave too much trouble to open. So we sort of ignored the backing up. Countless stuff that was saved including some very overdue stuff. (sorry ktempest). Oh yeah. And mi amigo lost all of her vidding stuff, all of her music files, and piles of stuff that took her literally years to put together. Um. All because one, we actually weren't sure what the hell hard drives were, initially, and 2. we kept putting it off in favour of some other less expensive, more urgent stuff. Ah, the perils of ignorance and procrastination...


Ah well. Have a look at the Christmas story retold in I've just discovered my wife has been unfaithful. and Slient Fucking Night
