There Is Joy In Mudville

After an anxious week, I have my old laptop back with a brand new hard drive and a brand new hard drive cable.  Plus I've backed up all of the data off of the old unit and stored it on a brand new 1TB external drive.  And things are looking good for my two final exams (one written tomorrow, the other next Monday).  Phew!


Meanwhile I've got a newer laptop and moved the older model down to backup/auxiliary command centre.  Since my laptop is my primary work computer, I tend to replace it every 2 years.  I was actually due for a new one, but hard drive failure accelerated the need!  Ditto the 1TB backup disk, on my list of "should dos" that were waiting 'til the end of term.
