So I am slowly making progress with Betsy (the black cow laptop). The battery didn't help her fire up. Believe me I tried. I've come to terms with the cost of the new laptop. So today I took Betsy into the repair shop to have her memory copied. Sounds space aged eh? The guy didn't seem concerned at all about being able to get my info off. He said they will basically take the hard drive out and put it in another computer and copy it off. He said my external hard drive was probably big enough to make a complete copy of the data. I told him I don't need diagnostics done and I decided to wait to clean off the hard drive until I can confirm I have all my files. I was also able to return the battery for a full refund.
Now I need to learn to be okay without a computer until my new one comes. I was secretly hoping it would come today. I was assured it would not however, I got my camera. It is pretty cool. Philip is luckily going to D and D tomorrow until Sunday so I can use his during that time.
I felt very relieved the guy thought he could get all my files. He said it should be ready after Christmas. That works for me! I'll still have time to get the files for Philip's Eagle program. Still sucks but I feel a sense of relief for sure!
