I hate to lose all my data especially when I've worked too much on them! You see, I'm a kind of artist myself and I make designs that can be put on personal checks from fairy checks, Disney checks, dog checks, cat checks, even <a href="http://www.onlychecks.com/religious-checks.html">Religious checks</a> or personal check designs!

I know so well all the those emotions you described. Some days I think I'm going along just fine, and then something happens and all those feelings come back and overwhelm me. When I lost those pictures that meant so much, I thought "maybe I could draw them." I know it's not the same, but perhaps through the creative process we can heal our wounded souls a little bit. Positive thoughts are flowing your way. anya~

I have been a backup advocate for a long time and I have an automatic backpu program going on an external hard drive for a while. I can't stress enough how important that is. Here's hoping for a better 2007! Twice in the past 2 weeks I have had to replace my hard drive and so I feel your pain.

Luckily the website wasn't one of those things - that was backed up on a memory stick! Now I backup weekly....... lessons learnt as you said.

I just bought a 320 GB My Book yesterday just because of this very same reason. Four year old computer with over 60 gigs of work. Backed it all up yesterday. I too woke up one day to the fated blue screen. I am sending you good vibes that the hard drive can be salvedged. OMG- I am sorry that this has happened to you.
