I obviously irritated the computer gods

Yesterday it was the printer. Today, I log on to find a folder is gone from my bookmarks. There went every Buffy related bookmark I have. Now explain to me how it could be there when I turn off the computer and gone when I turn it back on with no one doing the two steps it takes to delete anything? I have no idea how to get it back because systems restore isn't supposed to mess with the bookmarks. It's possible that the folder got merged with another. (I've had that happen in the word processing program, this is also a multi-step procedure that the computer apparantly does on it's own when no one's looking because assuredly we would recall jumping through those hoops.)

Sob.

ETA - I did find them. It mergered that folder with my music links. Again, this Hell decided to do this on it's own with no input from me. I mean that would require either clicking and dragging and/or using the merge function which I did not do.

memo to self... back up bookmarks

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah I've made that memo too.

memo #2 - since norton insists on updating daily prehaps running a scan would be a good idea.

Ouch :S Seems to me the ghosts you've got in the house have decided to take over the comp too. Try backing up on a floppy? You could even send a backup to an email account, so that it would be saved online too. I did that with my Favourites once.

I need to burn another copy. I'mbeginning to fear I have a virus norton ISN"T picking up on

Nothing useful to say. Only that your computer is possessed.

That's what I'm thinking. Possession or maybe a virus...

LOL. That is one sophistiMAHcated computer you got there. You think one day it will be sophistiMAHcated enough to write my papers for me?

Glad you got them back, I think I might freak out if I lost my bookmarks. There are so so so many of them, maybe I should save them on a disk or burn'em on a cd....

I'm thinking of that burning of bookmarks too.
