Had about 36 hours interruption thanks to my main desktop system going down earlier this week... Poor Behemoth has had a catastrophic chain of failures all at once. I'm pretty certain his graphics card is shot. The SMART on two of my hard drives claim the drives are failing, and I'm thinking my mobo's taking a crap too. Normally I can squeeze a little more life out of my systems when they start failing, but not even LiveCD's want to run on Behemoth atm.
I don't have the money to build a new Behemoth right now... Thankfully I was able to redownload all of my programs EXCEPT ESE to my laptop and then keep going.
My laptop was bought about the same time as the current iteration of Behemoth was built, but I've barely used it in comparison, so it should live for a while even with being turned into my primary system for a while.
I had a LOT of data on Behemoth though that I can't get access to until I manage to rebuild him... Grr... I mean. I could ghost the failing drives at any time... But... I don't have any new drives to ghost them to! Even getting just one nice big 3 terabyte external backup drive to ghost the data to is money I don't have.
As for ESE... Any way I can get access to that program again Shannon? Or do I need to re-purchase it just because of this stupid chain of hardware failures?
