Birthdays and Crashes

A million years ago I bought some memory sticks for my computer. I only have 1mb of memory right now. I bought the max amount my computer can hold. This week I tried to modify my computer. I was nervous about this from the get go. It's the reason it took a million years for me to install. The memory install went off without a hitch. Then I was going to install the newest operating system. This computer was going to be kick ass! Then, my computer crashed. There were tears, lots. Christian said that me sitting at my desk, with my head in my hands, sobbing was the saddest image. I called my computer guy. I tried some things, didn't work. I called computer guy again and made him come over. He gave me a list of things to do and left. I had a backup on my external hard drive. I had no idea if it was viable though or what I had backed up. This was Wednesday. Thursday was my birthday. I was NOT going to try to restore from my backup on my birthday. I didn't to want to be depressed. Christian wanted to be home too just in case I needed to be talked off a ledge. I had a great day. I hung out with my Wee Baby Seamus and Christian came home early from work. She had a present! Hello iPad!!!!!!! I was shocked. We talked about me getting a new lens for my camera, not an iPad! I love it. I'm on it now. I can watch tv and blog. Yay. Tonight was the moment of truth. Did I save the right things? It took two hours to upload. I held my breath and opened it up. My photos were alive and well! I was so relieved. Crisis averted. Only problem now is I can't connect to the internet. Good thing I have my new iPad.
