The wonders of technology..... when it works

I finally have a computer back that works!  After returning from my trip I found my computer to be without vital signs,  no pulse, no heart beat, and for sure no brain activity! 

My problem with this resides with the issue of tools.  If I have a hammer that doesn't work properly (a rare sort of thing with a simple impliment of whacking) I would replace it with one that does what I expect.

Computers ,on the other hand, are nothing like this.  They function as a be all and END all (in my case) to rid the user's world (in this case mine, but not really) of pesky little details, like where things are and are you going to die.  Wait, I admit I should have been backing up things all the time, but I had been lulled into a false sense of security by years of trouble free whacking ability.

Well, no longer.  Now that I have a device (let's not say tool!) that is working, I will endeavour to back things up religiously every day.  well maybe not every day, perhaps every otherday...  Maybe not every other day but......................
