That's the good news. The bad news is that my laptop ;crashed and had to be rebuilt to the tune of $130. More bad news is that I lost all of my documents, pictures, music, etc.

You should back up anything you don't want to lose. I use Google Drive. It's free.

I learned a valuable lesson. I'm in the process of backing up important stuff on one drive.

Or you can go to Best Buy or any other big box store and buy yourself a drive, probably get 1T for less than $100

I can't imagine you would have that much to back up so could probably get away with a 2GB or something like that for $30

If I still had my first computer with a 100 MB hard drive I would give it to him. It wasn't broadband capable so he would have to use a dialup.

dude you cant have more than a few megs. lol couple grandkid pics and all the rest admin requests. back that shit up on a thumbdrive.

I took your advice & did that. Remember, you're talking to someone who relies on his grand daughter for computer support.

And? How did it work out?

It worked out fine.

Good, now make sure you don't forget where you put it
