That's so great - we've all had hard drive failures orother catastrophic events before, and that this one wasn't in the end is awesome. :D

Yeah no worries, if you find yourself still stuck later on, shoot me a message. ♥

Part of the reason I take so many notes longhand is because I actually did have a colossal computer failure fourteen hours before the biggest presentation of my academic career, and wound up spending the night teaching myself how to transfer everything from the old hard drive to a new one (information was fine, it was the actual machine that died). This way, at least I have the rough drafts and all the notes!

Thanks so much! I appreciate it.

OMG that's awful! Also a little triggering because my 6 year internet hiatus began when my sister visited one xmas season and fucking murdered my laptop while I was at work. Literally murdered it. Spilled an entire mug of coffee on it, freaked out that she spilled and dropped in on stone tile when she tried to get up, tried to WASH THE COFFEE OFF UNDER THE TAP WITH IT STILL TURNED ON. Mind you she is a PhD in sciences so you would think intelligent enough to not do the last one...

For a while I couldn't afford a new computer, then I moved, then I moved again ... and before I knew it, it had been 6 years with no internet aside from Netflix and Hulu on the TV. Kind of crazy how it all worked out in the end. I am very paranoid now with work things and backing up to outside sources, because of course I lost more than fanfic that fateful day. #mylifeinanime
