The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.

How disconnected I feel without my laptop…:(
I never considered my laptop as an electronic system…but it had become part of me..which connected me with my nears and dear ones…I could spend all day and night with my laptop and today…with all my emotions I have to express that I am not able to login to my laptop!

“A thunderstorm is God's way of saying you spend too much time in front of the computer”

Seems like some virus has trespassed my laptop’s property…I am using my friends laptop..thanks to him for supporting me in such a crisis time.

“Hardware: the parts of a computer that can be kicked.”

Guys but the good news is that I have taken my laptop to the doctor ;) yes…one of the System support guy is going to help me and make sure that I don’t loose my data :D…

Let's not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it. ~Vincent Van Gogh, 1889

I felt that all these posts that I add here in my blog, is with the help of my laptop…no matter where I go…whether it’s the Frankfurt airport or Moscow , India or even Amsterdam…it has always accompanied me through out….so this post is dedicated to my laptop and yes guys…please pray for my laptop’s well being :D

One's suffering disappears when one lets oneself go, when one yields - even to sadness. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Southern Mail, 1929, translated from French by Curtis Cate

Hope ur laptop soon finds itself in pink of health :)

Hope it is a known cure and the doctor takes care of it.

I agree with Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who also wrote Le Petit Prince, The little Prince...read it if you have time. Sad that he died young in a flight accident...otherwise we would have got so many good stuff from him.

The last time I wished get well soon to a machine it was my computer. Now again its a computer. Some one said, computers were meant to ease out life and they have messed up everything. True.
I can understand how hard it is to see your beloved not with you..
I wish your laptop gets well soon or you find a brad new apple ibook.

May be you should try local data recovery folks like service centers in Fry's Best buy etc..
These guys would charge like $50 or so for diagnostic and then $100 up for recovery.

Dont you have a back of your stuffs.

That is scary

poor u! i know the frustration...hope u get back on track soon.

“A thunderstorm is God's way of saying you spend too much time in front of the computer”

I am too attached to my Lappie too...It is just a part of me n if I dont have it I go all mad...N the reason why I cant use it would be when Comcast goes BANG and takes long time to come n set things straight...So u met a good doc?

KL said...

Oh Dear! seems like you also have the same symptoms like us who considers laptops to be the integral or rather the most important part of body/mind/soul/life :D:D:D.

Hope your lapy is going to get well soon :P:P.

Just dropping by before I begin to vanish soon :P:P:P:P...

KL said...

Come weekend and this girl goes into hibernation!

Anand said...

our lives are getting so dependent on these gadgets...more than they are even on food and water!!..Damn!

Keshi said...

Suffering comes from attachment...the more we learn to detach from materialistic pleasures, the more balanced we become.

Great post as usual Dawn. but I can never bring myself to detach from the PC :):)

btw thanks a ton for the very sweet bday wish in my blog! MWAHHHHHHHHH sista!

Keshi.

Dawn said...

masd: Thanks for all your wishes…initially there was some hope..when I heard files can be retrieved but now its seems I have lost everything…almost everything!!!
Sometimes we cherish those memories…just by saving them all …and mine when I think of them its not something that I would like to cherish now ..:D
It happens that’s life isn’t it …one has to look forward for more to collect memories :D…
;) Cheers

manish: No Manish…I might have to get another laptop now…seems the files that they could retrieve is corrupted so..seems like some virus or so God knows..

starry nights: dear all I will say is make sure you keep taking the backup or else…you never know when you will end up like this. People say am from IT I should know….but then don’t we all know we will die one day …so don’t we still plan as if we are immortal :D…
Cheers

archana: Yes…all my advise to friends is take the backup if you have any memories ..pics, songs etc saved in there …am in Milpitas…
Cheers

kumar chetan: seems like your magic words did work :D…I have to buy a new one now …though I lost all that I had…

madhu: Its not the frustration yet for me…but the disconnection is something that makes me feel so behind :D…I am not connected to my friends…or else from here or there I try to get in to read and check mails…but its not the same as you do with your own pc..Thanks for your concern dear..
Cheers

shama: Yes dear you need it but make sure …don’t make it your life :D partner hehehe try to accept it as a electronic machine only ..good luck

I love munich: Oh Karin, I cant believe this…as I did thought of you when I wrote that one hehehe ! But so true…my mom always yelled at me when I used to visit her and I used to be on my laptop…then slowly I got her into my blog reading and guess what…she started enjoying too hehehe it’s infectious ;)
