Getting Old
Those first signs of aging are traumatic. I could barely sleep last night worrying about how my life was going to change if things kept up the way they were.
Now I'm worried and sad as I can see the future before me: trouble functioning, losses and difficulty in doing the things I used to do with ease.
Yes, I have to admit it, my computer is getting old.
Yesterday I had a complete blow up and lost all my emails and my email addresses. Why I wonder? I was just sitting here, typing away when POOF, flashes of lightning, a growl from the hard drive, a sputter, cough and then a screen without a single icon --then death. I was able to resuscitate my dear Dell, but it's not the same now.
I managed to get myself up and running again but I lost all my new and old mail and even today I'm wondering if it will function properly or will I experience another POOF?
Since my Dell is approaching 4 or is it 5 years old, I know the end is near. My emails have gone to heaven already -- what next?

start backing stuff up now sweetie - anything you want to save make sure you get it off to CD or thumbdrive.
If you need help finding/picking a new computer let me know and I"ll be glad to help you out. (just bought a new laptop myself.)
Good luck!! (my dell crapped out right about 5 years I think too... that of course is after the HD died at 2.8 years. )
HUGS
Yes Ilanna, it is back up time! Thanks for your offer on buying a new computer...right now I'm in denial..soon will come acceptance I'm sure ;-)

Nilbo, you're such a guy! You probably enjoy having 27 remotes in your living room!!
