Fun Monday...
Ahhh...it's starting out to be a GREAT day!
 LOL, I'm being sarcastic. My SIL went into labor yesterday, labored all afternoon, ALL night, 1-2 minutes apart from 10pm-6am, and when checked this morning, she was NOT dilated at all. She gets to go home because her contractions have slowed right down again. And she's now 7 days overdue, lol. Then I get the dreaded "blue screen" and tells me it's doing a physical memory dump...I've gotten that before and have been trying to get it fixed, but anyhow, I finally called and gave them the error code I was getting. He couldn't figure out what was going on, because it happened 2x more while we were on the phone and each time I got a different code. So...we completely restored my computer. No big deal, I've backed up all my "important" files...he kept double checking that I had, and then I started the restore and realized "OMG...all my MUSIC". Too late, lol. Doh! So, I've lost most of my music (all purchased on iTunes - mostly single songs, a few CD's)...I can recover about 1/2 from my iPod, but the rest is gone, including the 10 or so songs I bought this past week. I get to spend the day reinstalling ALL my programs...so fare I've got my Wacom working, got Y!M going and downloaded Firefox so I don't have to use yucky IE, lol...still have LOTS to go, though. I'm scared to turn my EHD back on because it was plugged in and turned on when I did the restore...I'm not sure if it reformatted it as well or not. I turned it off after the restore was done and I was waiting for Windows to set itself back up. Wish me luck on that one (thankfully the only thing NOT backed up to my 2nd EHD was digi files - all my photos, designing stuff, and layouts are backed up). I hope everyone else is having a better day!

Yep, turned on the EHD, it was safe. But WAHHHH...I don't have ACDSee anymore, lol...I got it free from the company, and the registration key was in an email, which was in Outlook, hahaha. Doh!

ah man!!!
I can sympathize with you though. My parents lent me a stationary bike, a very expensive one. I got it hooked up this morning and plugged it in. The display came on, I got on and started to ride. I heard a big pop and the screen started smoking. I called my folks to let them know, but I'm soooo upset. This is/was a REALLY expensive piece of equipment. Dad said he'd call around to see if he could find some replacement parts.

that doesn't sound very fun but I may have some good news when I lost my iTunes stuff I was able to go back into it and redown load them as long as it was the same computer in which you first purchased them from

No, never thought about backing up my fonts, lol. I'm sure I have most of them on my EHD, just kinda haphazardly...will have to poke around and see what I find.

That's (part of) why my husband is so opposed to downloading music from itunes. He hates the idea of not having the actual CD. Hope you're able to get most of it back, Bree! I lost all of my music as well when my HD crashed this week, but I think I have physical copies of most of it.
