Boooom!
-----------------------------------
Well...another year. Sept. 1, 2010 I got another year older. Thank you Thank you. To top it all off my computer started on fire, there was smoke, there were a few choice words tossed out here and there  :bad-words: . So right now I am in the process of picking up the pieces. I'm trying to revive my hard drives on my old machine, which is what I am using for the time being, in hopes that my work didn't get toasted. May be a few months before I am able to afford to get my main machine back up and running. But on the plus side...I'm a year older.  :roll: 
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program already in progress.

It was the mainboard. We have had some power outages here of late and it took it's toll on the capacitors. Saved one hard drive and still trying to revive the other.  :pray:

Revived both hard drives and transferred them to a portable 500gb backup drive for the time being. Using my old machine for now. Not ideal but it will have to do until I can afford to fix my main PC.  :sad:
