I am not happy. On Wednesday, the computer monitor died, but luckily we had a spare one :-)
The main family computer has now decided to go belly-up, half-way through DH performing our data back-up.
I have lost about a thousand hours of academic research work, and lots of family photos and photos taken over the last fortnight for the blog and not yet posted :-( DH has spent hours over the weekend trying to salvage as much as possible, to no avail. He has completely re-imaged the machine and reinstalled everything. It worked for a few hours and is now coming up with serious error messages again . It looks like the hard drive is damaged.
So I am utterly reliant on My Precious at the moment.............ho hum.

oh no! Two computers at once. That is distressing.
oh no! yikes... Lord have mercy...
I don't know skilled your husband is, but before giving up hope, trying sending it out to a place that can restore data on your hard drive. I had the same thing happen to me years ago, and my husband (a serious computer genius) was able to get it all back.
Best of lucK! I hope you'll be able to restore it. Technology is so wonderful and also so heart-breaking at time.
1000 hours? ouch! This reminds me I haven't backed up for ages and my research is only play research but I'd be going round the bend if I lost it.
You know I feel your pain.
