It wasn't the "free" healing I had been praying for, though.  Oh no, this healing cost some big bucks and took three Dell technicians two day-long phone sessions to fix, but it was worth it because I was able to retrieve my files and pictures and burn them onto CD's before having to go through a complete restore/reinstallation of the OS.  Now, my computer is "like new" which has its pluses and minuses.  On the one hand, it is a fresh, clean slate, but on the other I am having to spend an inordinate amount of time reinstalling my favorite apps and getting all my files back in place, etc.  But, again, I say, it was worth it!  Now I have a "new" computer AND I have five precious CD's:  four of family photos and one of my documents and favorite freeware/shareware programs' set-up files.  I should have burned all that onto CD's a long time ago, but I was lazy and just never got around to it.  Nothing like being unable to access your important stuff to make you realize how urgent it is to get all that stuff saved in back-up copies somewhere.

Moral of the story:  Back-up your important stuff TODAY!!!  :-)
