Looks like I won't have to kill my brother after all!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I came home from university today to visit my parents. When I logged onto the computer I realised all the user accounts had been replaced by one called “General”. I logged on and tried to find my files. They were ALL missing.

I asked my dad what was going on. It turned out my brother had decided to re-format the computer, and must have forgotten to save my files. I was very VERY pissed off. It was years of work! I was planning to kill him next time I saw him. (Okay, that’s a slight exageration.)

Then I stubbled across a disc on the table, with my name on it. Turns out it has ALL my files on it.

So I guess I don’t have to kill him…yet. :smiley:

But when again will you get such a good excuse that no jury would ever convict you.

Oh, if my brother did that to me, he would be deader than dead…but he has a computer that is at least twice as cool as mine in all respects, so he would have no reason to.

Is he a little brother? I think they all deserve death on principle. Even when they’re all grown up. :slight_smile:

All your files can fit onto one disk?? :dubious: :confused: :confused: :confused:

I just finished burning a 100 CD-Rs, and I am still not finished backing up my files.

Check the disk. I still have a failed hard drive under my desk. The backup disks? Failed as well.

So, check the disk. You still have time to file a grievance in the form of capital punishment. And what court would convict you? :smiley:

Funnily enough, every time I format someone’s HDD I forget to back up their address book. I get all the other stuff but not that. I’m sure it’s Microsoft’s fault. :smack:

Is anyone missing some smiley images?

7

Yes, I am also missing three of the smiley gang - Wally, Smacky, Happy Orthodox Jewish Man, and Dubious.

8

featherlou… isn’t that four that you’re missing? :smiley:

9

DVD-R? May save some time. :wink:

“First they came for the Wally smilies, but I wasn’t a Wally smiliey, so I did nothing. Then they came for the Smacky smilies…”

11

Wow, I’ve never been happier to be an only child. :cool:

Capt B—Thanks for the best laugh today!!!

Duh - so hard to count…

14

lol. He’s older then me. He’s 21, I’m 18.

15

I checked the disc as soon as I found it. It’s all ok.

Well it’s actually a C.D, not really a disc. And he didn’t save any of my music downloads.
