Deja vu all over again

Remember that time my computer crashed, and I had to blog from my phone? Guess what happened Tuesday night? Surprise, surprise, my computer died. Apparently the hard drive crashed. After a phone session with Christopher from HP (who was really helpful), we determined that it would be more cost effective to just try to salvage what was on the hard drive, transfer it to an external hard drive, and buy a new computer.

I hit up Best Buy last night to talk to Geek Squad and to peruse their computer selection. The Geek Squad agreed with my idea, so I headed over to computers. These guys weren’t so helpful (they didn’t even know how to unlock some of the laptops), but I did find a machine I liked. It’s basically the new version of my HP that died; it has more memory and a faster processor. Because I bought a new computer, the data transfer of my old hard drive was only $30. Not too shabby. So this is my first official blog post from my new computer! Hopefully, this one will give me some good years.
