Computer Problems

A couple days ago my computer would not turn on. We took it to the computer place to get it fixed and they told us that it had a virus and they would try and save everything they could from the hard drive but they would have to clear it. So i was upset and we sent it off to see what would happen. Yesterday i got it back, found some old pictures, nicoles itunes library and none of my graphics from the past 3 years i've had it :[ it was very very very disappointing. i have lost all the really good pictures. i'm in the process of saving them off of facebook onto my computer again but it wont be the same... sometimes i wonder how i love technology so much, how i can depend on it. When in a single minute, i lose my whole life and have to start over. hmmm something to think about.
