I'm just grateful that the hubs was able to diagnose the issue and we were able to get her fixed. *fingers crossed, knocking on wood, etc.*<br /><br />@Carol: LOL...The layman's term for "heat grease stuff"? Hmmm.."That white stuff what's stuck on that shiny part in there" (only you have to say it with a southern accent or it doesn't come out right). :) <br /><br />Also? Yes, I had my writing backed up. Otherwise this blog post would have been far more filled with freaking out, threats and temper tantrum throwing. The other good thing about being married to a computer geek is that we have back-ups of our back-ups. Seriously. It's sad. <br /><br />I have my writing backed up to my usb drive and saved to my hubs hard drive as well. Then the hubs backs up his hard drive to a larger pen drive, a back up external hard drive AND every couple of months he puts all that information on a few DVD's and we put that in our fire safe. <br /><br />I think it might be overkill but hub has seen too many people lose too many important documents in a computer crash to take any chances.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07228403951637387916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3588072409059441914.post-65516020098595791292010-03-30T11:39:52.331-05:002010-03-30T11:39:52.331-05:00Your poor beautiful laptop.

These scientists, always coming up with difficult words to pronounce. I wonder if they have a layman's term for heat grease stuff. Sure would be nice if they did.<br /><br />Please tell me you had your writing backed up. I am now freaking out a little reading your post because I have not backed up my manuscripts in a while. Eeeeep!!Carolina M.
