"My friend helped me lug my computer to the computer store. When the genius at the bar came out to talk to us, he was shaking his head like a doctor coming to present horrible news to a family. My hard drive\u2013\u2013my memory\u2013\u2013was kaput. Had I backed it up? No. I asked the genius if he could just put in a new hard drive, please? No, he said. Wouldn&amp;#039;t fit. This thing is vintage, he said. Tell me about being vintage, said I. So what do we do?, I beseeched the genius. Are my memories retrievable? Is there a way to get them back? Well, yes, he said. You need an enclosure. When you insert your hard drive into an enclosure and attach it to another computer, you will be able to see everything again. Well, great, I said. Where are they? Which one do I buy? We don&amp;#039;t carry them, said the genius so I went to speak with a geek. The geek knew just what I was talking about and got me good to go. The soul of my computer remains strong and steady, safe and sound in its enclosure. I have ordered a new computer, against the Mercury in Retrograde rules. It will start writing about different things. Right here, on The Daily WD. I&amp;#039;ll tell you about it on Friday. D.G.
