My posting might be light the next couple of days. My PC died yesterday and I had to buy a new one. Now I’m focused on the laborious process of downloading all my old software and files. Fortunately, I backed up my files on Carbonite.com, a cloud service. But the darn thing tells me it could take 2 days to restore them! If you’re using a cloud service, beware — it may take longer to get up and running than you anticipated.
Until Carbonite does manage to download my files, I have no access to my calendar (I hope I don’t have anything important scheduled!), my contacts or my pre-crash emails. I am currently receiving new emails, however…. And taking telephone calls.
Update: Nearly two days later, I’m still downloading files. Got at least another day to go. Ugh. Carbonite sucks.
