Okay

So, I finally have my computer back. The story of what happened is that the hard drive partitioner was corrupted. This is a sad thing, as it makes the hard drive not work. At all. It is also a sad thing, because it means that the stuff that was on the computer, is not, apparently, recoverable. So, any stuff that I hadn't backed up in the past few months- bye bye. (Including the strip I'd been working on as it decided to go kaput.)

I know, it's a sad story, but there's a happy ending. I do have an external drive, which I had backed up to, so the main necessary files, the webpages, the installation files for photoshop, opencanvas, etc, I still had. I had an issue, with oC, in that it wouldn't let me save pdf's. Ahm, this is a sad thing. I need to be able to export pdf's. So, instead I have to run it as administrator. Anyway, the end of the story is that comic will be back up to normal starting tomorrow, because I finally have all my drivers, and things I need set up and organized again and everything is in working order.

It also means now I have a 160G hard drive, rather than a silly 80G hard drive. So, I'm pleased. Yaay! with all the crap that's happened to it- Dave is now twice the computer he was when I bought him. So- all in all, it's a good thing.
