OMG.............................

Llast Tuesday the hard drive on my laptop DIED!!! It took until last night to get my computer running and internet going. It was the week from HELL. My computer is a Dell..they were of ..little to no help, once I bought the hard drive and got the re-instillation cd's for my windows and drivers and utilities I wasn't sure which disk to put in first. When I called Dell they wanted me to pay $59.00 for the "technical support" to tell me which went in first..all because my computer warrenty is out(it's 6 years old)..can you believe that!!!! Caleed to find out where the COM port on my laptop was..same answer..$59.00 for the "technical support"!! Ok..by now I have been crying my eyes out for 3 days..everything gone..all my files,pictures,documents....EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER DOWNLOADED OR SCANNED FOR THE PAST 6 YEARS....GONE(including evey collage sheet,image,altered art item I have bought over 6 yrs..gone!!!). I had no idea I could back up on another device....NOW I KNOW!!!! Well, I called Microsoft...their tech support was marvelous..they took 3 days to figure it out...he even conference called ATT to explain my problem with the internet and what I needed(this was last night!!)...UP AND RUNNING!!!!!!!!!! Then, this morning..no internet. Back to ATT where the most wonderful tech.support got me back up and told me step by step what to do as I wrote it down. Seems that Dell computers ,along with a couple other brands, have 2 wireless support systems..their own plus windows,,did you know if you have this problem,you have to close the Dell(or other cumper brand) wireless and use the windows one? Know I do !!!
I ahve contacted some of thewebstores where I remember getting downloads and I have received responses from most of them already..they have gone above and beyond to help me:
wINK WINK WINK INK ,EweNMePrintables, Altered Pages,ArtChix,Piddix,TwoDancing Crows..IF YOU HAVE THE NEED FOR GOODIES PLEASE VISIT THEM AND TELL THEM I SENT YOU.
Also, Tangee Baxter at Scrapbookgraphics.com sent me a $20.00 gift certificate to use to help replace wht I lost from her. Since she know longer has her origional store she didn't have the files so,since she is now exclusively with Scrapbookgraphics she was so kind to do this...PLEASE VISIT HER ALSO AND TELL HER I SENT YOU !
Now, I have to find where I stored my down load disks for photoshop,my printer,camera,etc. AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, it could have been worse.....it could have been me or someone I loved who died.Guess I need to dry my tears over my losses and get on..end my pity party!!!
So, if you don't see any posts with pic's of creations...you know why!
Everybody have a happy day !!!!!
