Rest in peace, dear PC, you've served me well for the last seven years.
Today it died, won't even try to look for the hard drive. Won't go to setup or system recovery,,,time for a new one I guess.
The only problem is whatever I buy now will have Windows 7.
Not that Windows 7 is necessarily a bad thing, but I'm sure that some of my older software won't be recognized as well as my older printer.
Guess we will just have to wait and see...
I'm certainly glad we back up the hard drive occasionally to an external drive!
