19 March - setting sun

And finally, a snapshot from the Eurostar window as we passed Paris...
Collected my PC from PC World today, got it home, plugged it
all in... they had neglected to tell me that when they installed
Windows Vista it would wipe all my programs off the hard drive...
so I've lost every program I've installed, plus all my music, email
contacts, etc etc...I could have cried.... have spent the entire day
setting everything up again - have got email working, internet access
& my music back on (coz I'd actually backed that up, thank heavens).
Just need to dig out all my installation CD's & reinstall everything
that I need...I've spent the entire day at the PC today sorting it out,
so no time to look at my camera! Back to normal photo wise tomorrow!

Canon PowerShot SD800 IS
1/125s f/5.8 at 17.3mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Excellent shot. They should have backed up your stuff for you, but it's always a good idea to back up anything important--hard drives can fail at any moment. Anyway, I know what you're going through--been there unfortunately.

But Windows Vista is worth all the hassle believe me, you wont have to sort anything for years! Glad you all got it all back safe and sound though!

Oh, you poor thing! I've heard nothing good about Vista yet.
At least you know what you are doing, Nicky.
Brilliant sky.
