One IBM X20, DOA

It happens to each of us sooner or later. And no matter how you try to prepare, you're never really ready. Last night, around 11 PM, the keystone of my computing life died. Total hard drive crash. My life now revolves around this message: "Operating system not found."

Luckily, I practice safe computing and backup regularly, and my professional life is largely safe. The personal, though ... the digital photos, the blog postings, the stuff ... all gone.

A new hard drive is on the way, but the data have long since left this world.

(Parenthetically, if you've sent me mail in the last day, please resend. Anything that was sitting in my inbox that I’d not responded to as of last night is forever history.)
