It could also be better.
My hard drive on my desktop died.
The techs at the local computer store were able to diagnose it, replace it, and recover most of the immediately obvious data (basically what was in my My Documents folder). A massive relief.
They did not recover my applications. I can reload all of those. What I cannot easily reload are all the links I had saved and the several thousand pieces of email I had stored.
Yes, laugh at me all you want now. I save email. And, yes, I have not until now been a back-up person.
The latter will change, but unless I can get them to go back through the old drive and recover the files that constituted my electronic memory, there are a lot of things I will have to be reminded of for the next few months.
I could be happier. But I could also be much, much sadder. If I had lsot all the bulk of my files...that would have been dire.
