The baddest of sectors
At 7:00am this morning I woke up ready for a full day devoted to work. My summer schedule is filing up and I need to make some headway on the freelance job I�m doing. As I sipped my morning coffee I noticed how incredibly slow my computer was running. It’s been acting up for the last couple of days, but nothing serious. I’ve had plans to completely rebuild my system into a new case with a fresh install of Windows, but I’ve been holding off until I have this job done. Unfortunately my hard drive is forcing my hand.
Yep, my computer is dead. The hard drive sporadically hangs and spins aimlessly, scolding its bad sectors who ignore the harsh treatment. I’m typing this on my old Windows 98 laptop, the longest running and most reliable machine I own. Luckily I don’t think I’ll loose too much since the drive is partially operational and I do nightly backups onto my external drive. It’s a pain in the ass though and will probably take me all day if not more to get back up and running.
This love/hate balance I have for computers tipped heavy towards the dislike side this morning.
