Ok, no hurry.

Computer crash!? Wow! That's too bad. I had a problem with my hard drive a while back and lost a few things, even with having another computer helping store files. The newer Operating Systems (since WinXP) have been pretty stable, but I remember the days when every 6 months you better reinstall the OS to keep it from hanging. It was just a part of computing we had to do.

'Course I've had a computer for so long my first two computers didn't have hard drives in them. Not that I couldn't afford one, but there just wasn't such a thing back in the mid 70's. If you wanted to play a game (like making a ball bounce from corner to corner), you had do use a program called DOS Basic and type in the program. The game would run from the computers RAM memory. Every space had to be right, every dot, every letter, or the program would hang. Tough way of amusing yourself with a computer! Shoot, it was several years before a color RGB monitor was available to add to a home computer. I had an Amber monochrome for quite a while before getting the RGB, thought it was the "cat's ass". We've come a long way!
