Computer Crashed / Died

My (brand new) Dell computer crashed / died a few days ago. The SSD Hard Drive failed without warning. I bought that Dell computer 1 year and 1 month ago. The warranty is expired. And I lost two days of work. I know: it could be worse, I could have lost 1 to 2 weeks of work. I also know there are bigger problems in this world, and in life, but this is a big deal to me, for several reasons. I now own a very expensive Dell brick, and if I hadn't been able to get my previous computer revived, I wouldn't even be posting this message.

My online activity will be minimal until I can regroup and figure out how to move forward. I will NOT be getting another Dell.

I have an upcoming SPA guest host theme, and will try to leave comments, etc.

Oh, Anne, I'm so sorry! And figures the damn thing would crash just after the warranty expired.

I'm really sorry for you and your computer, dear Anne. We've all been there, and it's likely to happen to us again... I understand your confusion and your anger. We'll be waiting for you impatiently and keeping our fingers crossed!

Girlfriend!!! I know exactly what you are going through!! And I have been there before!! nothing worse!! Yeah there are wors problems i know but losing something you worked hours to create is tragic too! And discouraging!!!!! I was also a little traumatized when I lost a lot of my files a few years back!! We use these images to create what we see in our imagination and the images we collect, and use do speak for us and become our voice, our artistic expression of what we see and feel that we cannot describe in words!! So, my files are sacred to me and I am sorry that this happened to you but a few days of work and as creative as you are...you got this!!! What does not kill us makes us stronger!! I preach this to myself every day!! Sending hugs! for you to smile!!!!
