New hard drive? Check.
Handy husband who completely took apart my Hoopty Laptop, installed the new hard drive and then put it all back together again? Check.
Handy husband who recovered my iTunes collection, copied all my iPhoto stuff from the back-up drive to New & Improved Hoopty and even put a cute picture of our little guy on the desktop? Check.
Happy mama? Check.
So. Despite my missing emails and the fact that I couldn’t get a CD in the disk drive if my life depended on it, Hoopty’s back and better than before. For $60 and some change. Which means:
Happy checkbook? CHECK CHECK CHECK CHECK CHECK.
Hallelujah.
Oh, that is good news, indeed! Congrats!
Glad she’s back. :)
How many new emails does it say on that mail icon?
You are such a rock star.
I’m so happy for you! I had a computer crash that did not come back from the grave and that was a sad day. So I’m glad your story ended so happily :)
Happy Hoopty to you! Glad it was the easy, low-cost fix.
So glad to know there is Happy back in your Hoopty!
I’m sooo glad for you. I’ve had that sick sinking feeling of a dead computer more times then I’d like to admit. Wanna bet if I back up my data or not now? Well, if you said “Of course she does, what idiot doesn’t learn after such drama?” You’d be completely WRONG…but you’ve inspired me to back up tonight.
Happy Internets – Check! Glad Hoopty is good as new!
Hallelujah! Hooray for Handy Hubbies!
Whoo-hoo! The music returns!
Aren’t “techie” husbands the best??
Yes. . .but did you get your “F?”
This is, with 100% certainty, my favorite Blog title of the day. Hi-larious.
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! Way to go, Boo Daddy!
what great news! we should all know to never count a hoopty out!
looks like your emails are up in the three digit range! good luck with that! :)
Great News! Glad you’re back up and running!!
Yeah! And she arose from the “dark domain,” too!!
So thankful for your good news!
Hallelujah! Oh how I wish he were here to help me recover full usage of my pictures!
“hoop” there it is! Yeah, glad everything worked out and that your back.
Oh I am so glad. I think I gasped the other day when I had read about the ol’ Hoop, and now it has turned into a sigh… and hmmmm…Office to boot tonight. It is a good day.
Yay! Hoopty lives and the checkbook is intact. Gotta love the hubbies who are handy!

I’m thinking it’s happy days are here again.
High five to BooDaddy.

Wonderful news! But what’s the fate of those missing letters??
I hope you immediately backed everything up.
I’m glad you got it working again. ;)
Congrats to you and Hoopty! May you have many more happy years together!
Thank you Jesus for a healed Hoopty!
Hooray! :)
Yippeeee!
That’s a good man you have there.
Your husband is a superhero. Mine does stuff like that too:-)
…with a mighty triumph o’er her foes!
Can’t beat a good old hymn!
Awe.Some! :))
Oh, does he deserve a hot meal of all his favorites, or what?!!!
Good man.
A gold laptop…..cool!
UmmmmWaaaaaaahhhhh
I hear the angels singing!
Congrats!
What a blessing, Boomama!
Wow – very handy hubby! Now, go back up those tunes!! :)
She introduced me to so many things: Pasteurized milk, sheets, monotheism, presents on your birthday, preventative medicine…
wow! Nice work! Love your blog–and love every time my blog list lets me know you have a new post!
thanks tons!
[Roxanne’s comment made me blush.]
Since hubby fixed everything so nice and neat, howz bout you send him to D.C. for a week. I hear they need some fixin’ there.
Good grief woman, how many emails do you have in that picture?
you should rent out your husband! the rest of us could really use all that handiness!
Yay for handy hubbys!!
I don’t think Hoopty is in Eastern Canadian vernacular can anyone give me a definition
You are creative – CHECK! :)
That seemed fast! For me anyway! Glad Hoopty is up and running again!
“Lo in the Grave He Lay” has been in my head for the last six hours. Darn you!
Seriously, glad Hoopty’s back, at least for awhile. Where does one get a $60 hard drive, because I have a feeling that the heat coming from mine is about to turn into smoke?
Oh what a blessing indeed!!!! You keep that man, no matter how much he might drive you crazy at times…
I believe the whole economic crisis was a prophetic forerunner to the blinking question mark on the blue screen. That moment must have been apocalyptic for you. May we never know that kind of horror!
I do believe D bailed you out.
Maybe he could give the US Government a call? I think they could use some help.
