The computer is fixed! A new, larger, hard drive was installed by a Mac wizard who has a shop just down the road from us. He was able to mirror the fried hard drive and install all of our "stuff" on to the new hard drive so we didn't lose anything, not even passwords!
On Christmas Eve the wireless router mysteriously stopped working. It didn't really matter because we didn't have the computer anyway, but that meant the iTouch we got Dancing Daughter for Christmas was useless. The Mac wizard was able to fix that too.
Now I am up and running. I have much to catch up on and oh so many pictures to edit! It's all going to take me awhile. I hope to read what all of you have been up to in the next few days!
Meanwhile you can go check out my Wordless Wednesday photo here.
Yay! I'm so glad you're back. I've missed stopping by your place in my blog-reading route!

Glad your computer is up and working. We just had the same problem but 2 laptops crashing in one week. We now are Apple folks...:)

Missed reading your blog, glad you're up and running. Won't see you New Year's at the Shaw's we'll be at a Cake concert, so have a happy new year. By the way you have inspired me to attempt a blog this coming year, thanks for being an inspiration.

Yay for your newly fortified mac. Computer troubles are so, well, troubling. Routers, virtual memory messages, spyware... argh! Here's to healthy computers in 2010!
