Can I just state for the record that I really really really hate floppy disks?

I just unearthed the floppy that had the latest draft of two of my stories from fiction class this semester. I thought, hey, I don't think I backed these up on anything else, let me do that now before the disk dies on me like the last one I didn't back up did. So I popped it in and opened Word.

And what happened? I don't think it's hard to guess.

So if anyone had a pressing urge to read the draft I turned in of the story I posted a few months ago, you're going to have to really beg me to type up all thirteen pages of it again. Or pay someone else to do it or something.

Grar. I suppose I'll have to do it, cause there are still some major overhauls I want to do with it. But grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I hate computers so.

AND EVEN MY PLAYLIST HATES ME! Beck just came on. Singing very sweetly 'everybody's gotta learn sometime.' Even my Beck has taken to mocking me.

Good news though, I may have fixed it. Don't know how, but fingers crossed.

If you have hard copy, you may be able to use a scanner to get it back onto a computer...a lot of scanners (if not most) can attempt to read letters (with a fair amout of success). A proof-read and spellcheck can usually catch the mistakes it'll make.

I do have both a hard copy and a scanner. I was thinking of scanning it in, if I can't get the stuff back. Much better than typing it all in again.
