Finally, the laptop is working again

Good to see you back on the forum again.

Even after close to two decades of having one of these contraptions, I'm no wizard when it comes to what makes it tick.

The best accessory I've purchased for mine was an external hard drive for backing up my files. My laptop was sending signals it was ready to 'give up the ghost' on me last year. I got out my external hard drive and backed up everything I had on it, within a week or so I was shopping for a new computer.

Just the other evening I was going through old files from two former computers I had backed up to the external hard drive. I found things I'd forgotten I'd saved. Some were posts from my earliest days on the forum. Not to mention old photos and a ton of other 'goodies' I'd forgotten were on that external hard drive. I was amazed at what all I'd saved. Kind of like cleaning out the closet, garage and reloading room all in the same week. Found lots of 'stuff' I forgot I really needed at the time. :)
