Bad news about Sunday. My laptop crashed for good just now.

The pics I had ready for Sunday are, barring a miracle, gone.

I should be getting a new machine sometime next week. I hope to see you all then.

Start your thread, as you always do, and ask us to root around the web and find a picture to contribute.

I'd be happy to add a few when I come across the thread.

If it was the laptop, most likely the hard drive is readable. Get some computer wiz to take out the drive and see if it's readable. If the drive is ok then the data can be copied to a flash drive or an external drive.

The motherboard on my laptop died in January--not the hard drive--so my IT son was able
to transfer everything over to my new laptop.

So sorry you have to go through this! I know what a PITA it is!
