This morning I checked the status of my iMac repair, it was ready for me to pick up! I had to wait for Kimi to get home in the evening so I could drive over to Emeryville. I was gathering reference material on my laptop from a random website and got hit by a virus via an ad. Suck! I thought to myself though, how funny is that? One computer gets fixed, the other breaks down?

I did a quick backup of my laptop and restored it to factory defaults. Of course during the re-install, I realized I had missed a file (to backup). When my computers are running smoothly I think about the need to backup all my files, but I make plans to do so later. Everything’s okay now, I have time to wait! Well, later is when your computer isn’t working. So my cautionary tale suggests that you backup sooner than later!

Well I have all my computers back and running. They replaced the video card on my iMac leaving everything else intact. Time to follow my own advice and backup the rest of my files.
