Taking a moment to be glad that chrome on my phone remembers passwords for me because I don't know my own passwords and with my computer down I can't get to my password list. -_- This is the second time this has happened to me (the other being when I accidentally deleted said file while transferring to a new computer). Note to self: start a hard copy of passwords at earliest convenience. This is ridiculous.
That being said, I've been busy this morning... I'm having a new computer overnighted. What's a little more expense for overnight when I'm already spending when I hadn't intended to? Mostly I just want to be sure I'm here when it's delivered and I'm off tomorrow. And plan to be home anyway.
As far as the old computer... I've ordered a (relatively yeesh) cheap monitor and cable adapter from Amazon. Hopefully I can figure out how to hook it up and transfer the files to my external hard drive. Not exactly sure how to do that without a screen on the original computer... But I'll cross that bridge when I get there, I suppose. Worse come to worse, maybe I can enlist the help of someone tech savyer than me. All else failing, I'll take it to microcenter and see what they can do.
