Back up your computer!!!!!

Well VERY bad news... the other day I turned on the computer and instead of it turning on all I got was a folder with a question mark in it!! It turns out that our hard drive is broken.....

Good News:
We have Apple's extended care plan so they will fix the hard drive for free!!

Bad News:
They can't get our data back... including all of our pictures of Eli, etc.

Good News:
A private company may be able to get our data back!

Bad News:
It can cost up to $3,000!

Good News:
We have an external hard drive that we backed up our computer onto!!!

Bad News:
The last time we backed it up was August 28!!

So, lesson learned... back up your computer and do it often!!!!!!!

The blog will be silent until we figure this all out! :-(

I am so sorry for you losing so much. If there is anything I can do, let me know. Take care.
Love, Mom

i am sooooo sorry guys! :( we're praying that they will be able to retrieve your info without any (or much) cost. i feel your pain, that happened to me when wyatt was about 6 months old. the good thing for me was that it wasn't my personal computer, but works. bad thing, we did loose lots of pictures of wyatt! i can't remember how many months worth it was now, but it was hard to swallow at the time. we need to get a back-up drive soon!

Yikes! That stinks!

Maybe the computer didn't like the move? Or maybe you are the first personn from Troutman to access the internet and your computer didn't know what to do?
