Bad news...

So during the superbowl game i wanted to work on a project, so i grabbed my external hard drive and plugged it up to the laptop. That was all fine but the power plug neededed to go into the wall and the type of outlets we have are child proof. That would be fine but the fact is the way they are made, it doesn't hold the plug and you have to keep plugging it back in. So in doing this (i.e. plug, unplug, plug, unplug, etc) it must have short circuit the hard drive b/c it wouldn't come up! So pretty much all my pictures and all of Austin's life (pictures/videos) are on this hard drive. I tried Kevin's computer and my computer to pull it up. Nothing! So i took it apart and opened my computer and plugged it in internally; again, nothing! I went to Best buy today and had this see, and again, they saw nothing. The hard drive would not boot up! So right now, they are sending it down to CA to i guess a bigger headquarters to get the information off of it and maybe put it in a new hard drive or on dvds. I'm trying to soooo hard to stay positive and that they will be able to recover the data. This is not good! I mean i have almost all pictures saved on snapfish and shutterfly and have most videos on photobucket and youtube but still, i have ALOT of clipart (i.e. digital scrapbooking stuff), music, etc. Let this be a lesson for everyone, backup your data in other places just in case...you just never know! :(
