Description
Well, my main Photoshop machine finally rolled over and died today... Just one friggin' thing after another... But it's been having a lot of issues lately, so I'm not terribly surprised by this. I'm pretty sure it's just the 'C' drive that's gone south, so I could just throw another drive in it, reload Windows (7) on it, and rebuild from there. But it's a 6 year old machine, and it's had a number of other issues for a while.
The company I bought it from - Velocity PC - has a "Lifetime Upgrade" program where I could send it to them for upgrading. I'll probably call them Monday and see what they have to say. Depending on price, I might just be better off getting a new machine from Microcenter. We'll see..
The 3 other drives that were in this machine have been removed, and are fine - everything on them is intact and backed up - which is good because there are several years' worth of photos on one of them. I learned long ago to have at least 2 backups of anything important.
Anyway, this may slow things down a little bit (as if they aren't slow enough already), but I have Photoshop on one of my laptops, so I'm not dead in the water. And all my T.N.A. assets and Photoshop assets are safe in other drives and on Adobe's cloud.
EDIT: 06-15-19: I sooooooo should have put the word "Jim" under "It's Dead.." 😝
One of these days all this crap is going to stop and I won't know how to act...
Thanks for stopping by, and for all your wonderful comments and support!

Yeah, I'll probably give it a good cleaning, then resurrect it at some point - probably as a backup server or something.

Oh boy ! Looks like the cosmic forces are against you this year Rod ! This is bad. I think a new machine will be better. The old motherboards cannot take new CPUs and well if you end up thinking of replacing the motherboard and CPU and probably the GPU, you might as well get a new one. I do hope the next half of this year is really good for you. Fingers crossed :).

You're scaring me, Rod. My main machine is 7 years old and it's been showing it's age a lot lately. Been thinking about transferring all of my data to an external drive, before the smoke starts rising . . . . . . but, I haven't done that yet. I guess I'd better get a move on, before it's too late !!!

I've seen that electronic corpse before. Glad that by the time of my reading you are returning to us.
