This describes so much of my life right now.
First off, the Computer: I have resurrected my computer for the short term. The components are definitely…off. I could spend time and effort and money bringing the computer fully back to life, but I’ve decided to go for the more expensive route and buy a new laptop. Right now I’ve brought my machine back up enough to retrieve some files that were missing as well as to do the basic light browsing and various tasks that I need to do. I’m also debating on adding another layer to my two prong backup system that I have now: the offsite backup. Contenders in the running are the well publicized Mozy and Carbonite. I’m still looking at others.
