Well, the second unbearably annoying thing since Capt. UberHusband left has happened…our desktop PC went kaplooey tonight.

I’ve been down this road before…and 100% of the time I wound up having to reformat the hard drive, reinstall Windows and lose everything I hadn’t backed up.

Ha…here’s the funny thing…we got our new DVD burner a week ago, and one of the reasons we got that was so I could start backing everything up more often. That was on my “to do” list for tomorrow…back up our Microsoft Money file, the 3 GB of photos we had and the hundreds of emails I had in Outlook.

What a mess.

God bless Capt. UberHusband, who stayed on the phone with me for an hour while I tried to troubleshoot and did everything short of taking our PC in someplace and having them charge me $100 to tell me that I needed to reformat my hard drive and reinstall Windows. Ultimately, I did just that…and now our PC is wonkier than it was when we started.

But, it may just be time for a new PC. Ours is, after all, a curmudgeonly 3 1/2 years old. Thank God I have this laptop…and while I’m thinking about it…I’m going to go backup some of my work files.
