Yah I've been missing...Truth is, my laptop decided to have a legit heart-attack and die on me.
It was old and the motherboard or processor died so...Yah no more laptop, I found a cheap referbished on which is actually on GB faster than mine was but been waiting on that and I still have over a week still (maybe to wait) until I can get it (maybe/hopefully)..Can't really afford it at all but I have to have a computer and I've kinda hijacked my mother sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....

Yah that's where I've gone. Thankfully little lappy didn't have a hard-drive failure so I have my stuff..Yay!

Yep yep so that's about it.

Cyas around!

Yeah; been through that twice (accept both were PCs) Moko. Heart's out to you. Fortunately, the HD wasn't bad so got my data back, but what a pain to have to reinstall all my software. lol

You'll be up and running soon enough; looking forward to that. :)

Thanks for checking in. Now I know why it has been so slow here lately. I would be lost without my lappy so really feel for you. Hope you do not have to wait too long for another. Never thought about PC's/laptops having heart failure ;) Glad you were able to retain your info. That would be a real bummer if you lost it too.

Thanks for the kind words. :>

@SallyAnne - Yah I think of it kinda like, it's the center of the laptop and without it it can't work...I guess?
Well hard-drive would be the brain right....or maybe the memory...?..Well they didn't die... So, the heart gave out! :|

Mokonafan, I've just read about your laptop. I wish you a lot of luck with your new one as you really need it to continue creating wonderful art as you do.

Don’t be afraid to start over. It’s a new chance to rebuild what you want.
