I knew it had to happen eventually

In all my years of computing, and I've been online before there was an online, I have never had any real computer problems.  I was always able to nurse a dying computer along long enough to get everything I wanted off it.  Well, my good luck streak finally broke over the weekend.  My desktop just died.  Just up and died.  No warning, no problems, no indication at all.  I went to turn it on Saturday and nothing.  Just nothing.  It was kind of funny because I just sat there looking at it like huh????  I didn't know what to do.  I'm good with computers, I can figure out any program you throw at me, I can learn quickly.  Hardware??  I'm a dummy. So today I took it in to SuperGeeks to have it looked at.  $150 for them to diagnose it and fix it - not including parts.  {sigh}  Oh well, things happen. But as a result I've been semi-computerless through the weekend.  I do have a laptop and a netbook but all my info in on my desktop.  I had to find time to sit down and enter all my info in the laptop.  Luckily I know it all or I really would have been screwed.  It just took a little time to get it all straightened out.  I got all my regular sites loaded and all the contact stuff I needed. I remembered all my passwords and even the name of the Oakland motorcycle accident lawyer that I had spoken to. Now things are back to normal and I can continue on my with my Interweb routines. I do love my routines....
