When computers work properly, operations like producing a newspaper are somewhat routine. However when computers go down life can be challenging. About a month ago while taking an online class at home, my laptop computer froze on page 38 of a 42-page test. After waiting about 10 minutes for the computer to free up the page, I realized I had no choice but to reboot and retake the test. If that was all I had to do, I’d be writing about something else in this space. When I rebooted the computer, a strange noise reverberated from beneath the keyboard. That was the last noise I heard from that laptop’s hard drive. Our computer technicians discovered the drive that contained my online bookmarks and passwords was no longer operable. For all intents and purposes, my repaired computer was a blank screen with none of my old settings.
