Well, I've been slacking again...but this time, I have news.
I am officially going to need a new computer. Which makes me very sad. Although I knew it was coming.
If you remember from earlier this year, I had to take my computer in because it was just having a bunch of problems. The guy told me that I was going to need to buy a new computer because it would be cheaper than fixing the problem, which was more than likely putting in a new motherboard.
He fixed the computer so I could function on it for a while, and I was attempting to save up money so I could buy a new one.
Well, yesterday, I was on YouTube and all the sudden, my computer crashed, like it usually does. I system restored it, just like I normally do...tried to restart it and it didn't restart. It needed to be system restored again. (Again, something that I'm used to). This time, it will not go to the system restore page. It gets suck on the page right before it starts restoring. So, I can't do anything.
And rather than me take it back to the computer place to fix where it'll cost another $150...I'd rather save the $150 and put it towards the cost of a new computer. So, that's what I'm going to be doing.
Although, I might take it in to see if I can get a few pics taken off of it...as there are just a few that I believe I've erased from my camera that I would like to try to salvage. If not, it's not a big deal...I have them saved on Facebook and I'd just have to save them on my computer, but still, I'd rather have the original files.
I have a feeling I can't salvage the pics though because the last time we fixed my computer the USB port stopped working and that would be the only way I would think I'd be able to save what I wanted.
So, now I'm on the market for a new computer. Can't decide whether I want a desktop or a laptop. I keep going back and forth between the two. Part of me says desktop, because it's what I already have and all I'd need to do would be to buy a tower. But part of me thinks it would be nice to have a laptop that I could take around everywhere. Although I'd have to buy a few accessories for a new laptop...so...This time, I am going to take my time and explore...unlike the last time. I will NEVER do that again. I learned my lesson the hard way.
Meh...it stinks, but unfortunately, I knew it was gonna happen.

If you need Marc to walk you through it, let me know!
I say go laptop!! I can't live without mine. But then again, desktops are generally cheaper to buy and maintain...
Poor thing. Mine's on its last legs too..
I don't know how much walking through can be done. I have a feeling the computer's dead and I'm not gonna be able to get what I want off of it. Stupid USB.
I'd actually have to get the computer working again in order for me to burn a disk so I can save what I need. And at the rate it's going, I don't see it working. Although, it appears that it may desperately want to. It keeps trying, just keeps getting stuck.
Psst.. you've got a new computer now. More bloggin.
