The healthy scepticism I have always harboured towards the wisdom of drawing on computer has, today, been given a second shot in the arm and is stronger now than ever.
You will recall, Monday last, how my external hard drive had an episode, the net result being that for ten hours it looked as though I had lost all of my work.
Now, today, my computer, upon being started up, displayed repeatedly an error message concerning my instant messenger, which I rectified by removing my IM as I scarcely used it anyway.
Once this was achieved my computer overheated, and upon being restarted came up with another error message, this time going through my files and then shutting down to restart itself. This done, my 'AcDb resources file' is no longer on my computer, the net result being that my AutoCAD programmes won't run and hence I can no longer do my work on my laptop.
This being the case I have now had to transfer my work onto my data stick and contrive to copy that onto my University network space. Needless to say that meant I had to delete other work from there to actually get it on.
Sometimes I wish that we were still using drawing boards and technical pencils. That way at least, a drawing can not be 'lost in the system', 'deleted by mistake', 'corrupted' or any other mishap.
These things are sent to try us, I suppose.
