[kurchatovium]

I have a friend who can fix computers, but he lives over 200 miles north of me in Massachusetts. 🙁

Yea my cousin can do it as well but he is almost always working. 🙁

That is good.

Very good indeed. 😀 😛
I had been afraid, when I heard the noises that the fan was making, that the problem was even more serious.

Computers often tend to make some noise. Clicking noises are likely the worse and that tends to be the hard drive going out.

Replacing the hard drive would have cost a lot more. Fortunately all my files are backed up on Carbonite. 😀 😛

And it is took about ten hours to get all my files back from Carbonite the last time that I had a hard drive failure. 😱

Not when you are replacing all of the files that were on a big hard drive. 🙁
It is best done overnight while you sleep.

I have tried to estimate how many movies I have seen in my life, including on cable TV. My best guess is about 3,000.
