Losing an appendage/ Losing your computer- which hurts worse?

Having never lost a limb, but having often lost my mind, I felt that you would understand how I felt when my computer got wiped clean! Oh the pain! I learned the hard way that a jump drive only works if you actually save the origional files, and NOT SHORTCUTS! (Word to the wise) Don't let your spouse convince you that he needs to reset... or wipe the computer clean... especially when your have all your graduate assignments on the hard drive! Long story short, I think I would not have minded losing a limb because it was painful (yes I actually cried) when I had to start over on my final papers.

Anyway, I am now back on track, and things are going fine! Thanks for all of you who were wondering why I dropped off the face of the earth!

OOOh... that bites! Having to start all over again on your final papers? I would choose the lost limb also! Well, at least you're a trooper for hanging in there and sticking with it... that's so you! Love you!

I second Carlie's comments - OUCH. We just lost a few of our files when we tried to upgrade our operating systems, but your story tops that handily.

Keep the faith, and let us know how Grad school is faring!!
