   OK I am a bit dim  on puter stuff , but I just tried doing a serious upgrade for a friend , ( yeah  it was a female  )  moving her hard drive to her newish  computer ;
suprise -suprise it didn't work , ,.....................
that was just the start of my problems , she, like me works freelance ,(  artist )  no not me ,I am a freelance idiot ,  you want to employ a idiot give me a bell ,
OK I did a back up to a portable USB hard drive first , but the whole thing fell apart , including the backup ,
But the funny  part ? was during the ensuring ;panic her P/S unit exploded , just as I was leaning over her computer , a big flash and bang ,and  change of pants for me , 
moral to this story , expect the unexpected,

BTW, after 18 hours of free work she is up and running , with the backup now on , 

net result= minus $40 USD profit , for a new P.S.U , ( how can you explain the P.S.U  just expired, while you were reloading the computer to friend ,)

Hi Honey  , lol I am finaly  back ,it has it been a difficult week , from all directions 

P.S.U =Power Supply Unit , ,( the bit at the top at the back of the puter that blows hot air ,I think that is it's technical term ), it's a bit  like me 
BTW i just had a fan go down on my PSU, it was making a noise like my ex , but was much cheaper to replace ,  .........................
