My computer's hard drive up and died yesterday. We've had long, complicated relationship, my hard drive and I. It'd been having problems since February of last year, but I first saw the Windows' Blue Screen of Doom on Tuesday. Now, it's gone.
Losing all of my files (most were backed up--don't worry!) feels strangely cathartic. I was figuratively walking on tiptoes around my computer--not daring to use iTunes, where I have most of my music, because that'd make it crash. Now, I can start anew, with no trojans and no corrupted copy of Acrobat Reader.
It'd be nice if I could afford a new laptop. Maybe I'd even make the big switch to a Mac, which doesn't seem as daunting now that I work with Macs regularly. But, alas, I can't afford it. I hope Dell ships me my shiny new hard drive soon.
