The computer saga is ongoing.
The good news is I've not lost everything in the Privacy Zone on my memory stick thingummy as I feared yesterday when I couldn't access it. (A little meander around the internet and a little bit of a download has sorted that one.)
It is, however, all worse than I feared once I'd go to it all...
Still, I've not Lost this particular Plot. Thankfully, the documents I write this in have all survived.
Strangely, I am kind of liberated by the loss of other things. Somehow, it just doesn't seem to matter much, other than the inconvenience.
When our computer went kaput a few months ago I lost everything.
I (used to) write short stories and I dabbled in mood poetry. (How good it was depended on my mood!)
Sadly I lost all of it. I'd printed off a couple of things for friends but that was all I had left.
I've never wrote another thing since... I think my muse was in their too! (also went kaput).
You have a wonderful attidute though and I'm sure once you learn your way around the new one other things may become accessable to you again. Good luck!
