She's lost in coma where it's beautiful

My laptop has died. I am not so thrilled about this. My presence online will therefore be somewhat intermittent until the situation improves. And until I find out how many of my recent projects have been irrecoverably lost . . .

Electricity, it's in me. Their machinery shuts down. Electricity, it's in me. Electricity and trash.

That sucks. I'm just recovering from the loss of my fairly regularly backed up thumb drive, now.

What horrible news. I'm sorry. Always print everything out. Always. That's one of my mantras. Back it up. Print it out.

Oh dear. What happened? Are you another victim of the Update Problem? Or is it something else?

I'm sorry to hear. And I hope you recover your projects.

If the harddrive's intact, you could hopefully stick it in a drive enclosure and recover your files, at least. That's what I did last summer when my old laptop died.

Sorry to hear that.

If you need HD recovery I'll do what I can.

Hope we can still see you in a few weeks when we're in town!

: ( I can relate all, all too well.

I plead innocence--my bad digital luck and I are a state a way!

Ack. I'm sorry to hear that. I know almost nothing about Macs, so I have no advice. May the Force be with you.

This is so awful. I am deeply glad about the rescued writing; I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for the music.
