CH20: Favors & Firsts - Pg11

AND WE'RE BACK!!!

So its been awhile, I recently had a major computer issue. I won't bother with all the details but my computer stopped working, smoke started coming out of the hard-drive (the one with all my Manaworld files!)
I thought I'd lost EVERYTHING!

The computer tech guy was... well, lets just say I wasn't very confident in his abilities.

Example: I have 2 HDs one with my programs and OS and another for my stored files:

Tech: "We will see if we can do a data recovery.. but like Harddrives have these disks in them that spin so they can get damaged" 

Me: "My drives are SSD drives." 

Tech: "Oh they are? Both of them?" 

Me: "Yes" 

Him: "Oh.. well um.. they are ...um they are different but they ... um can have their own problems too..." 

I mean if you are a Computertech and are working on a machine for a couple days shouldn't you have noticed that the Harddrives are SSD HDs? 

NEVER MIND THAT I BOTH TOLD HIM AND SHOWED HIM THAT WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF.  (I'd opened the case to show which hard-drive had started smoking)

Anyway, as I had thought (and told the tech) there was a problem with the power. So... Long story short. Good news is I didn't lose all my Manaworld files. I'd had work backed up (of course, but had a problem booting up some of those External HD too) 

I did lose some of the most recent work, its not nearly as bad as I thought.  AND the tech did.. something. Turning off some of my settings or what have you so some of my programs have been acting VERY wonky. I've been fixing them  myself  which has been a pain in the ass.  
And of course with the recent state of the world  throwing a wrench into things...

Anyway. Enough of all that.

I hope that you enjoy the page, will try and get a few more soon as I can. Till then thank you sincerely for your patience, and please from me to all of you and your loved ones, STAY SAFE!
