well, yet another mishap occurs. sadly, it's my faithful old comp that's taken the brunt. poor thing will no longer boot up.
luckily, my brother ordered himself a laptop, so he's turned over his old desktop to me.
so, it's just a matter of getting back into the swing of things.
Alright. Does that mean you will be updating good morning class soon?
That's cool of your brother. Happy to hear you weren't leaving.
Well I'm madly in love with a majority of your stories, so I'm glad to hear everything's okay and I do hope everything works out for you when it's all said and done.

well, thankfully aside from a few bookmarks, i didnt loose anything major

Well that's always an upside. Better than losing a majority of your stories.. and besides, you've managed well enough from scratch, even if it took time, ups and downs, you always managed. I know you're skilled enough to scrap through it. I'm rooting for ya all the way.
I know how it feels for one's computer to randomly decide to screw you over.
Almost a week ago my laptop decided to go "Bad startup config info" and won't let me get on, so I was forced to do a factory reset on it.
Even though I didn't freaking do anything wrong to it.
And then Google Chrome decided to not let me use it anymore(a few days later after the factory reset) even though I didn't do anything to it either, so I am stuck with Microsoft Edge(and can't update for some reason).
Rip..
What caused yours not be able to boot up anymore?

Near as I can tell the boot up system just finally decided to let go. had that comp for nearly ten years, so i guess it was just time.

Were you able to back up the files on there?
I wasn't able to for mine sadly, losing stuff on a computer you had for a long time sure stings.

thankfully all the main stuff was on google docs

How useful is Google Docs there?

saved the stories i'd been working on. (was able to remember my passwords for everything too)
5191969
That's good
So the computer was around 10 years old?
5192060
more or less. it's a rough guess but i did have it for a while

Its lucky that it lasted that long.
My one laptop lasted for a couple of years and I fear this one is might only last at the 3rd year mark or so.

Thats the problem with computers. At most they're good for about 3 to 6 years, depending. For example the laptop I'm using is over 6 years old and it's starting to show its age. There are certain programs that either won't work anymore or are slow. I can't even play most games on it anymore.

I think mine is starting to act up in terms of wireless internet stuff.
Its going out a lot for some reason and I had to restart it in order to get it working again.
