I'm Back

Yes, the little Dell now has a new brand new hard drive. We couldn't salvage ANYTHING from the old drive. Turns-out, it was a power surge or some kind of power problem that fried the old drive, according to my repair fellow. He said it was highly unlikely that I picked-up a virus that would actually fry the hard drive that completely. He recommended a battery back-up thingy that I've had in the past, but now the computer is only on a surge protector power bar. Another question arises, we knew we had a power problem on Saturday because we had to reset the compressor on the AC, however, why didn't Cory's computer (which is ALWAYS on) affected like mine? Oh, I know why--Cory's computer is four years old and mine was 14 months old with a newly expired warranty.
