Yup, user error.

losing all your private data is a very personal experience

macs are for people that cant multitask

it has happened to me a couple of times over the years. The worst was when my laptop's motherboard and harddrive broke 1 day before I had to hand in 3 finals which i've had already written and finished. I ended up spending the rest of the day at my uni's computer center re-writing 40-50 pages

had crashes but always been able to recover data. *touches woody*

can i hear a nukka say, back up your important shit on disks you noobz.

if its just an essay or a presentation i just email it to myself a few times.

Oh god yes. I've had complete computer meltdowns 3 times. The last time pushed me over the edge and now I have a wireless backup solution.

Happened to me back in 1997 and I was shocked at myself for how much it affected me. Compulsive backup has led to billions of black binders full of CD-Rs but I don't care; I never want to feel that way again.

same here (but i find it hard sometimes to find to a specific file), i also get equally worried by happy and exciting i found it when i got my new computer then how excited i got when my gf asked what laptop she should get, i dont know what it is about computers...

kill a cute animal, scream a lot, break something you'll regret later, take a deep breath... and rebuild.

Are PC's for people that generalize?

mostly yes

and old print cartridge refill stores, mom & pop businesses and my uncle who seems to break it every goddamn week

So what happened to the idea of an external HDD?

GIGs of music. Gone. Amongst other important shit, but there is a small tingle in me that feels ok about starting over clean and having a computer that runs smoother without all that bloat. Id still like a lot of my files back though Shrugs..

external HDDS always seemed like a something I needed to get but never got around too. Doh!

Oh yes.

So many times that I've become all zen about it.

It's almost refreshing, like a spring cleaning or something.

It happened two times to me this last fall actually, once each on both drives of my two-HDD laptop. Now I've gone back to a regular old rig though (laptops frustrated me, nothing to do but send them in for repairs), and I'm running a RAID. *knocks on wood*

only once, and it was because my roomates dumped water on it while i was out of town.

other night i couldn't sleep. was real tired + browsing watmm at 6am and accidently kicked some cables behind me desk and cut off all power to compy. i plug it back in and turn computer on, freaking out a little. screen comes up saying One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency & 3 stages of scanning. it all comes through fine, and the harddrive/compy works fine andall, but im sure i fucked something up somewhere.

I bought a NAS that can RAID 2 drives, but I can't afford the drives.

But can I afford NOT to get the drives?

what happened? I'm sure it's recoverable

oh and like a week ago i lightly kicked the corner of my ladyfriend"s laptop and it restarted, and that scared me. i'm afraid it's on the verge of implosion.

I'm hoping that if I don't get drives for my NAS, Kelis will leave it and I'll get some rebound action.
