Drive update.

Well, well. My hard drive is officially dead and a friend just sent me a link to this story that probably explains what happened. This does give me some small comfort. Like, there is a reason the drive just crapped out, it’s not because the universe hates me or because people are doing bad voodoo in my direction. Fortunately I have fairly extensive backups (with the exception of a few recent items and some itunes downloads) – though I may have lost all my email archives again (which I consider lucky, I feel guilty about purging it but at the same time I don’t want to keep it).

The worst part of course is reinstalling software and re-setting everything – but seeing as there is nothing I can do about it, I’m taking this particular hardware failure in stride. (Oh so zen). Will be looking for a copy of Adobe CS again, if anyone can help me in that area.
