Every dog has its day; Let me be that dog everyday :)

This is my first ever blog. I just feel like writing today. Infact yesterday morning. I was happy yesterday. Technlogy has the power to drive economy, change the way businesses work, revolutize the communication methods, make the world smaller, and on and on. However, for me it also has the power to make me look "MACHO" in the eyes of my mother and thats worth all the time I spend knowing more about it :). OK, enough of all the big words, this is what happened.

My mom's Dell laptop was infected by some malicious virus and she could not even login. She has been really troubled that her one line of communication is so totally out of her control. Now, I didnt know what to do, and as silly as I am ever, I didnt even have the XP CD at my disposal(first I need to get that). But then, DELL laptops has a recovery drive, and I had always wondered why it was there in the first place. And then the morning I arrived it strikes me that I try to recover my mom's system, and lo I pressed F8 and there was an option to restore the lappy to the image when it left DELL factory. WOW, cool I thought, let me see if I can restore the system to a working condition, though some of her personal data is gone for ever(not really, the smart mom she is, she has backed up most of her data anyways). Alls well that ends well, my mama's lappy got the same vista imaged and me glorified in her eyes.

Thank the technology for such a wonderful option and thank Him for giving me the brains to try it out!!!
