Did you know that it costs approximately $750 to have someone analyze a broken (what exactly is broken is still unknown at this point and for $750 may remain unknown) hard drive and retrieve the information stored therein (and that's for a base price - it could cost more than that)?
The question becomes, at this point, what price knowledge?
Sigh.
I'm thinking that I could get a NEW COMPUTER for that.
I'm also thinking that I am SOOO thankful to the Geek Squad guys for putting a new hard drive in my laptop yesterday. They gave me my defunct drive - it's sadly boxed up in a little foam container. I'm also thankful that I still have SOME stuff backed up (of course, I hadn't gotten around to backing up stuff since August of last year so I'm missing about a year's worth of school stuff). I'm thankful that some of that stuff was on my jump drive. I'm thankful that I emailed Derrick a copy of my novel pages to take a look at. I'm thankful that, even though I'm missing tons of school stuff and all my favorites are gone, I still have a computer to work with. I'm thankful that most of what I have I at least have a hard copy of at school so I can retype if need be.
So...what price knowledge?
I'm also thinking I should look at this as an opportunity to start fresh. I spent most of yesterday putting everything BACK on my computer.
Life IS exciting.
