Computers Suck

Since we were without a computer, I couldn't check anyone's comments on my last post. Foolishly, we decided to fix the Motherboard on this beast (it's actually not a beast; we only bought it not even 2 years ago but no warranty anymore :( ) and now everything is gone. If I had known we'd start from scratch with everything, we would have just went ahead and bought a new tower. We still have Windows but it's still Vista which is what we were running before - a new computer would have come with Windows 7; one of the hard drives isn't working AT ALL and it's the one with ALL my photos from when Ian was 4 months old until now, plus thousands of downloaded songs; there's no way we will ever be able to get that back unless we pay big bucks and go to a data recovery place. Thank everything holy that I regularly develop all our photos into hard copy and place them into albums so we're only missing some from early this summer, perhaps 20. Every single program and toolbar and whatever we had installed since we bought the computer is gone. Gone. Gone.

I have half a mind to say to hell with it all and go out and buy a Mac because this shit sucks.
