Oh oh oh, now this is funny... You know how I got a new less used motherboard, last November/December? With it I also got Dad's hard disk as well. Which crashed a few days ago. And needs to be formatted.
Aren't we all glad I never got around to move my stuff from my own old hd to the newer one?
The loss has really been minimum. I haven't lost all of the new hd even, just about half of it. (Partitions. It is a single hd, but it shows up as C:/ and D:/. C's the one formatted.) In D I had begun to move a few things, while in C I only had what I'd collected most recently, since the motherboard switch. I think. Oh, I keep finding myself cringing every now and then, as in my mind appear phrases like "oh, that had been in there", and "oh dear, that as well!", and "That too? It was there, wasn't it?", etcetera etcetera. It's annoying, mind you (do not talk to me aboutMrs Cake* Torchwood), but oh, it could have been SO much worse. All in all, I've been lucky. For a given value of lucky, anyway.
ON THE OTHER HAND, thank you for the valentines! :D I've read them all - and I would say I'm planning something, but I always am, ain't I? (Please be charitable and don't mention how many of them I actually finish. But.) Thank you thank you thank you! ♥ ♥ ♥

You usually learn things the hard way, I know that I did. I hope you can get most of your stuff back even if you can't get everything.

And when I was reading (well, listening to) Men at Arms, I found myself awwwing at Carrot and Angua a lot more than I thought I would. :D (Gaspode was brilliant.)
