I just lost a paper that was due tonight. I have learned that my disc had bad sectors. A SF just passed on some helpful tips about discs and saving and storage that had I known last night or 10:30 this morning I might not be creating this thread.
This thread is for you to share your computer experiences and handy tips for others.
I will share my story later after I have cooled off.
Thanks to those who have offered their words of wisdom in my time of crisis. It is definitely a learning experience. I was typing more on my classroom computer, saved it, went to pull it up on the computer in my office and NADA
!! Our computer technician while very computer savvy lacks personality and hence empathy so he was just factual but no I'm sorry let's try the things that Novella told me to do. Our school system has Dells and while I love them they are locked down so a lot of features, i.e. find, document retrieval, are not accessible unless you have the system password
so instead of going to him to hear the long drawn out speech, I chalked it up as a lesson learned and am now retyping. Most of it was written or from earlier drafts but there were some stream of consciousness that is lost. In undergrad, I was MISS LONGHAND writing EVERYTHING first but now it's like who has time. I have a degree
let me get my type on.
Happy Turkey Day!!
