I came home yesterday to find my computer making a horrible grinding noise and refusing to boot up. I’m really hoping and praying that my brother in law can save it. Or at least the seven book files that were not backed up elsewhere. Lesson learned. Trying not to panic. He’s a wizard with computers. Should he not be able to recover anything, well, then we might be talking a Margot Kidder moment.

I certainly hope he can fix it for you!
