Morning Computer Scare
Posted by Hal
Wow. At 9:30 this morning my computer suddenly and randomly rebooted. I was working on, what else?, the Peep book at the time. When I opened the file again, I knew imediately something was wrong. I scrolled down and saw that the file was only 19 pages long. Uh, excuse me Mr. computer, I seem to be missing 270 pages? I broke into a light sweat. I closed everything and opened it again, which for non tech types like me is the usual way to solve any kind of computer problem. But the result was the same. Deep breath. I did a search for the file to see if a back up or something would come up. A backup did come up, automatically generated by a program that copies my documents to an external drive. The question is, was it the good file or the corrupted file? I gritted my teeth, shut my eyes, and clicked on thef file. And there it was, all 275 pages or so. Wow. Scary. If W hadn't been home I would have had myself a shot of vodka. Didn't though. She disapproves of morning drinking.

This is a constant problem in computing because computer technology doubles roughly every 18 months. In a demand for more feature rich software applications, software developers create more resource consuming software programs. To meet the increased demands of the software, computer manufacturers continue to build faster, more expensive computers. This, in my opinion, is a vicious cycle where in order to maintain a fast and enjoyable computing experience, the computer user is forced to go out and buy a new computer every few years.recover deleted files
