A word to the wise-
ALWAYS backup your files. And make sure that when your computer asks if you want to make a system recovery cd, you do it.
My computer crahed yesterday. Evil virus got hold of it and went downhill from there.
I realized that my story ideas were lost, but it hit me like a ton of bricks about ten minutes ago that ALL of my pictures, good and bad, on DA or not are gone. FOREVER.
