PC woes

So the PC finally died horribly today, dammit. Badly enough that the only thing I could do was a complete reinstall - thank all the gods I had recovery discs.

It's working, I'm using it as I type, but now I have to go through the pain of restoring stuff like bookmarks, music, games etc. I've lost a lot of stuff again, because I still don't have external back ups in place but there we go. Thank all the gods, my pic of me with Idina is stored in about five places, so that's something :)

On the plus side, the PC's been a PoS since I got it and probably needed a re-install anyway. We'll see if it actually behaves any better now. I just know I'm going to spend the rest of the week remembering stuff I've lost and going "ARgh!". Really, really must make getting an external hard drive or other back up source a priority when I have spare pences :P

So, how was everyone else's Sunday?

Although external drives are a lot cheaper than I thought they would be. http://www.ebuyer.com:80/product/128603

Hmm, not bad. Maybe when the finances straighten out :) I just need this version of the PC to last until Sept/Oct time *crosses fingers*
