Thankfully if my computer failed I could survive. I would not prosper, I would be frustrated, I would use foul language, .....but I would survive. I have a back up for my desktop and I periodically back up the material on my laptop. I have also started to produce almost of all of my word processing documents using Google docs.
If my back up systems failed well that is another story all together. As is the case with most folks that work from home, I would lose both work material and personal material. As a writer I would be heartbroken to lose all my stories and poems. As far as work material, most of what I have is currently accessible through the blackboard server so I could get copies of the material from that source.
I am currently going through a depressing period in relationship to my new computer. It is only 6 months old and up until this last month it was a magical machine. It flew a click of the button brought me any file I needed. The speed of this machine cut my work load in half compared to the laptop or old desk top I had been using. Then for some unknown reason the new desktop started to lag. My world started to crumble, every time the circle of death starts my blood pressure shoots through the roof and ringing starts in my ear and I hate resort to calling my computer unflattering names. I go and work on my laptop because it is faster but still I sulk because I have seen the promised land and this is not it.
I have taken the computer in to Best buy twice and they have spent hours of their time free of charge yet the poor thing (me) still suffers from lagitis. Arrrrrrrg!!!!!!!!!!!!
