I have been in computer hell for three days, but I now have a new computer, courtesy of Best Buy, whose Geek Squad transferred over my files and bookmarks and such. The only thing that did not survive was the record of my wins and losses in tens of thousands of games of Spider Solitaire and such. Indeed, the game programs did not survive. So I start once again from scratch.
A good deal happened while I was in limbo. Comments to follow.
Hurrah for a new computer!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the successful salvage. I hope that you were also backed up both on a local external drive and in the cloud. Belts and suspenders.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the cloud, but I duped all of my files onto a flashdrive before hauling my old computer into Best Buy.
ReplyDeleteThat worked this time. You should be (in an automated way) doing that duping on a continual basis.
