I don’t know if any of you have noticed, but I have not been on much lately. This is not, as some people would believe, a result of my utter laziness. It is, instead, created by a computer problem I have experienced, and will now go into detail about.
On Thursday, I left home for a short time while my parents were at a family friends. My sister was left alone with both computers. When I returned home, she came to and said that the gaming machine was broken. Now, I didn’t get very worried about this, as she often comes to me saying that it’s broken, and most times it is just in sleep mode, or she accidentally logged off of something. This time was different.
After about 30 minutes of frantic work (the gaming machine is pretty much the center of my life), I admitted defeat and called my father. He rushed home (its also central in his life. And my sisters. Not in my moms, because she has a separate one).
He was also unable to repair our beloved computer after about 11 hours of solid tinkering, so we called in the geeks. We sent the hard drive (which, my dad figured out, was the source of the problem) back to the place we purchased it from. The guy said it was bad.
We left the hard drive there over the weekend, and he is still trying to recover our data. He says it is quite a lot of trouble, because we have over 90 gigs of information on that chip. Until he is able to retrieve the proverbial gold, I do not have access to any MSword documents, songs, emails, games, saved files of any kind, all information on nationstates, or any other important things.
If the info is not retrieved, I will abandon Einhauser, as it took me over 5 months to create the vast network of documents that support this nation. If it does fall, I will create a separate thread announcing the destruction and birth of my new nation.
Anyway, that the reason I have not been on. Just wanted to make sure you guys didn’t hate me for not being around :(
