Long time no post

So I am just now recovering from our big computer crisis. In May our computers went crazy! The hard drive on our "storage" computer crashed. We ordered a new 500GB drive to replace it. All is well. Then my laptop had been playing up for quite some time. Turns out it was the motherboard. We had thought it was my power adapter. Anyway, we had another external hard drive that we used for storage/backup. All of our photography, my work/designs were stored there. We had been in the process of trying to back them up to DVD. So for safety Wayne put everything on the new internal hard drive. What else could go wrong? My motherboard went out, the new internal hard drive acted up so Wayne had to do a new reinstall, then the external drive crashed! We lost everything. Thankful after much persistence and hunting we were able to recover most if not all of our photography and most of my work. That was over the course of weeks. Since then I have been trying to get my new computer up and running. And sorting through all of our recovered files. Morale of the story. Backup your files regularly.
