The great computer crash of 2007

On Sunday morning as Chris was reading the Priesthood lesson on his (new) MAC it froze up, wouldn't start and when he tried to start it, it made an ugly clicking noise. Apple told us that that was not a good sound and probably signaled a fried hard drive. Well, after taking it to the doctor on Monday we found out that yes, it was a mysterious mechanical error and that EVERYTHING on his computer is gone forever. Anyone reading this, please take a few minutes to back up the important stuff!!!! We had almost nothing backed up and when you think about everything we keep on our computers now days, it's devastating. Especially the loss of his DISSERTATION!!!! Needless to say, we now have a very nice, expensive (but WORTH IT!) external hard drive, where everything we do is backed up.
