There’s always computer trouble.
This afternoon, something in this here machine sounded like a weedeater chomping on a metal trash can for about twenty seconds. Then all the drives took a nap. My computer genius friend (Hi Dan) troubleshot until I ended up with this configuration, which is my main (working, thank the little baby Jesus who looks like a muscular trapeze artist) drive and nothing else. No CD drives, no floppy (yes my computer has a floppy drive). No slave drive. But, bonus!; the card drives work, which is downright convenient for this whole blogging thing I got going on on the side.
My latest hardware fail might be the power supply. Maybe. Or maybe it’s the cord connecting my power supply to my drives. Or maybe it’s my motherboard. And probably also my slave drive crapped out for the last time.
Despite all this, I shed only one tear and cussed way less. My previous hard drive crash and data loss was only four or five months ago so you can perhaps envision my seething, veiny-eyed rage when faced with the prospect my brand new hard drive had gone to Tahiti. Again, hello and thank you Dan for saving my files and my sanity.
