PC Crash Nightmare!

Well, it is with remorse and thanks for being such a useful resource that I must repectfully say goodbye to my seven year old, upgraded to the point of no more upgrades possible, HP desk top computer.
The only thing left TO upgrade or replace was the processor and I put it off a TAD too long and it got to the point where it took 5 to 20 attempts just to BOOT up and once applications started loading up it just froze and would not run.
Lucky for me I have had Operating Systems crash, lightning strikes that destroyed my pc’s and other reasons to get in the habit of backing up BUT, ignoring my own great advice to constantly do this, I found that once again I had neglected to back up the things I would most need when the old PC hit the dust.
I have spent the past few days pretty much unable to work being trying unsuccessfully to FIX the old one to finally breaking down and replacing it with a new one, which I have been learning to use as quickly as possible and slowly but surely getting most of my info, files and other necessities onto it.
I am now thankfully back in business and waiting for a tech friend to put the cd drive from the old computer into the new one safely so that I can access the files and apps I need and then make sure I do as least weekly backups of ALL, including mail, which I am really lax at backing up but contains most of my log-ins, affiliate details, sales and expense records and more.
Good to be back up and running and the lesson today is BACK IT UP and so do constantly!
whew! what a week!
