It was somewhere off Malaysia, about two months back, that my laptop went into cripple mode. I'm pretty sure that it was because I wasn't able to renew my OneCare subscription due to leaving it to the last minute, and that minute coinciding with the period when I had no internet access. Since then, no iTunes, no printing, lots of difficulty in editing and saving files, problems in internet access...

I finally got a backup or two made and hunted down the recovery disks I created when I bought this thing last year. I've spent a lot of the day and evening swapping disks in and out, clicking on "yes I agree" boxes and waiting waiting waiting.

I think I've got everything back except possibly my mail. And some programs I may have to download and install again. Most importantly I've got all the photographs I took over the past year.

Big raspberry to Microsoft, big cheer for Western Digital and their tiny 250 gig external disk.

Wow, I hate when that happens. I wonder if Mac users have those problems? I am just saving everything I can on the net these days, because every computer I have ever had, crapped out on me at some point!

photos=important! I accidentally put my USB stick through the wash last night with heaps of my pics on it but it seems to be ok so phew! Then again if my ipod is still ok after being put through the washer AND the drier then I can't imagine why my USB wouldn't!

Anyway, the point of all that was YAY! Its fixed!

Wow DL you washed and dried your ipod and it still works! amazing!

Skyring your entry reminds me that I should burn a disc of my photos and everything else as my laptop has some F1 error? I have to push F1 every time I start it as it has some weird message.

I'm glad you didn't lose your photos!

I hope the process removed any smut and nonsense from your songs.

iPods are amazing tough creatures. There's some galoot who tests new iPods to destruction. Has an entertaining website. Washing and drying one is probably just a sign of affection.
