Ok Bill and I purchased a new laptop, because when we finally got Internet in August and hooked up the computer it totally freaked out. Needless to say it is still at the computer Dr. Anyway the new laptop has Windows Vista, and so far it has not been my best friend. Let me tell you my story.
I had a family member come home from Iraq on Friday Nov 14th, and last weekend I was so excited to get the pictures off the camera and post an entry on my blogsite. First off the prompts were not the same as my computer at work so that threw me for a loop. Second I spent a hour moving pictures into folders. I thought I was free and clear and erased the pictures off the my camera memory card. Then when I went back to the computer to start working on my blog entry my pictures were no where to be found. I was frantic these were pictures that I couldn't recreate, they were priceless. I searched every where on my computer for the pictures. I think for a moment I had a mental breakdown, fearing the worst about my pictures.
Then yesterday I spent some $$ for a software package to find deleted material on memory cards. Lets just say that the computer angel was looking over me yesterday because my pictures were found. I had a video of the troops marching in to the hanger with the crowd cheering that would make the hair stand up on your arms, it didn't recover it but I have the pictures. So stayed tuned for the pictures from TJ's homecoming.
As for you Vista I will tread with a little more caution when it comes to my precious photos.
