It used to be that I liked digging into a computer, setting it up, and learning about software. Those days are long gone! Now, those activities are a pain. So, I was not happy when I accidentally kicked over one of my computers and it stopped working. Fortunately, the computer was one that I use primarily to operate my ham radio equipment, and it didn’t have important data or precious photos on it. Also, I had gotten it refurbished from a school program for $65.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I told Janie about it, she told me I should get a new computer, but since I am no longer dazzled by the latest and greatest (that’s reserved for radio gear), I didn’t want to spend $400 on a cheap computer. Instead, a new hard drive would work, and it would not be any more of a hassle than setting up a brand new computer. So I ordered the hard drive from (where else?) Amazon, it came a couple of days later and I snapped it in. At first, I didn’t think it was working, but I figured that out and now I am doing the drudgery of reinstalling Windows and all my old programs on the new drive. This time I put the computer where my big feet can’t reach it!<\/p>\n
