Apparently I'm not the only one who has an overheated lap(top). There was an article in the paper today warming men that using laptops directly on their laps may cause a drop in fertility. I guess there are several types of consequences to using a laptop in your lap. I'm thinking about buying stock in the company that sells the cooling pads. It may be a trend.
I'm still struggling with getting everything put back together after the crash. I was able to restore the image I had saved. However, it's from the end of April. That means that I've lost everything I'd updated since then. Fortunately, I'd done a backup of the files after that. Not only do I have more current data, but I was able to pull the files over to my new machine. The new machine is a different brand computer with all different hardware and a new operating system. That means that the image is worthless for it. I did get a new hard drive for the old laptop, so that's how I restored the image. However, the new drive ran long enough to restore the image and allowed me to get a couple of files copied to my USB drive, then it crashed again. I haven't given up on the machine, but I have more diagnostics to do on it. Having the new machine gives me some time and doesn't force me into rushing into a solution.
I'll probably wait until I get back from Dallas to tackle the problem. I have a lot to do to get ready for the trip. I can't believe I only have one more week. The computer problems will have to wait, or at least get in line behind all my other "to dos".
