Anything else??????

Okay, so this week was really not the best in the WWT (Wonderful World of Technology).

A week ago Sunday, while watching our marvelous technological device that allows us to pause live TV, didn't allow us to pause live TV. Our DVR wouldn't rewind so we decided that instead of calling Direct TV and having them tell us to reset the machine, we would just reset it ourselves. It stuck on the same 'Step 1 of 2, this may take a few minutes' for the entire week until Friday when the technician came out to replace the box. He didn't have a replacement box, so he returned on Sunday with the replacement and finally got everything to work.

In the meantime, Diego calls me at work on Friday and said the he turned on the computer and it wasn't doing what it was supposed to be doing. The only thing that would let him get anywhere was to push F10. Now, for those of you who pay attention when your computer is booting up, you know that F10 is the system recovery. IT ERASES EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! So he calls me back a little later and says that we have a "brand new computer". Everything was gone. All of our pictures, iTunes stuff, files, programs. It reset to factory settings. :(

As wonderful as technology is, it really sucks.


So, hindsight being 20/20 and all, BACK UP YOUR PHOTOS AND FILES to be on the safe side.

Love to all
