ack!

there has been something terribly wrong with our desktop computer for the last week or so. we don't know what's going on with it, but it just seems to be getting worse and worse. it's pretty obvious that it's on its last leg. i'm concerned because i have work to do (orders to fill) and, most importantly, i have my oh-so-precious fonts on that computer (like over 1,000 of them).

so, if we are to get a new computer, i'd like to get a mac. sure, they cost a pretty penny, but they're so good looking. and no self-respecting graphic designer would be caught without one. of course, i'm not a graphic designer, but that doesn't mean i don't like to pretend i am one. the power mac g5 or the new imac with the intel chip would be cool. probably more power than i need, but it just sounds kinda cool, doesn't it?

however, with penny-pinching JR dictating our major purchases, that's just not gonna happen. boo! boo~oo!

but seriously, i'm worried about what's happening with our dear little dell computer. it's a good thing we have also have a laptop so i can get my blogging done, but the desktop is off-limits until JR figures out how to get stuff off our hardrive. i'm not any help because i am clueless about hardware. can anyone advise us on what to do?

Depending on where you get your next computer, a lot of places will help you transfer everything from one hard drive to the next. Of course, there IS a fee involved, but it may very well be worth it to you.

thanks TL ... if JR can't get the data off the hard drive, i may have to pay to get it done. thankfully, we have all of our digital pictures backed up on our external hard drive.
