Computer Trouble
My computer just started making a scary sound this morning - kind of a "Whirrrr, whirrr, CLICK! Whirrrr, whirrr, CLICK!". For some reason I suspect this could mean that one of the hard drives is crashing. It started terribly slowly, but it did start eventually and I was able to create and print Sebastian's letter from Santa Claus. Still, I'm pretty worried.
My most important stuff is saved on GMail, but a lot of my photos aren't - there are just too many of them. It would take twenty CDs just to save my photos and videos from 2006 alone! Which is another good reason to get a new computer. A DVD-ROM would be awfully useful now.
I've run a full scandisk on the older, slave drive, including a full surface scan. It apparently checked out okay. I'll run a scan on the main drive when I get home tonight.

If you can't, let me know.. I've got about 160 gig in hard drives laying around that I'm not using if you'd like. They're just taking up space since I bought a 300 gig. :]
