Our desktop computer is starting to show signs of age. It makes horrific noises upon start up. It also will randomly shut itself off, typically in the middle of an e-mail the dudely has spent all morning trying to compose. It had me worried and I started thinking about moving all my pictures to my laptop. Then it died and I panicked, convinced I’d lost everything I’d been too lazy to back-up. Miraculously it came back to life three days later. That’s when I got to work moving files and taking a walk down memory lane.
That’s my rather lengthy way of saying, “Hey, take a look at these really cool pictures I found from my trip to Geneva in 2005.” Now might I suggest you take my story to heart and back-up your really cool pictures? They’re too good to lose.

that is a very prudent thing to do. but if it's making noise and it's old, it very well could be full of dust. I had a dead desk-top, opened it up to take out a hard drive only to discover it was filthy. vaccummed it and it came back to life and works better than ever. yes, it was THAT filthy.
Good thing they're safe! I had a similar panic yesterday when I learned that my neighbor's house was broken into and their computer and camera were stolen. Creepy. I'm off to back up everything on my hard drive.
