My son called me at work the other day to tell me that our computer wasn't working. Instantly my heart sank. Over the years I've had numerous issues with replacing power supplies, motherboards, and hard drives. My first thought was not the hard drive! please don't be the hard drive. Sure enough, when I got home, it was the hard drive. Now I have all of my family pictures, all of my videos, and all of my source material backed up on an external hard drive. But what I don't have backed u is all the unfinished projects. And now they are gone. Forever and ever.

Hope that's true for at least some of your projects.

Thanks guys. It's still going go be a week or two before I can afford to get a new hard drive. The good thing is that ill have much more space as I upgrade to a 2T drive! And the forced break will probably have my muses going crazy.

I hope you get back into the swing of it once you get that new drive.

I am f-i-n-a-l-l-y back! This has been one hell of a month. My computer died, then my phone, then, my manager at work who'd been battling cancer passed away on the 21st, followed by my great-grandmother on the 27th. Needless to say, 2012 hasn't been the best year for me so far. But hopefully things are turning around now. I'm definitely glad to be back here, and hopefully finding my vidding inspiration soon.
