Computer drama

I had a bad day yesterday. I woke up, did my get ready thing, and turned on the computer. Our wonderful Mac computer. And it opened up to Windows XP. I thought perhaps Dusty had switched it over the night before and forgotten to switch it back, but no. (In case you don't know, you can run Windows on a Mac just like a PC via Bootcamp, which we only got because we wanted to do family history on PAF) It's like having two separate computers built into one). So, I went to the startup disk and tried to switch over. Because lets face it. We didn't buy the Mac to run as a PC. Sorry PC people, but we don't like them anymore. Strangly, there was no switching over to be had. I got onto the apple website and tried to figure it out. No solution. Lots of freaking out on my part ensued. Last night one of our few friends who happens to have a Mac and know a lot about computers came over and told us our sad story. We had used up all of our disk space, which is akin to taking your computer outside and running over it with your car. ( I knew we should have put our home movies on DVDs, silly us) Now, don't fret people, and run screaming like I did when I first heard, because Macs are so wonderful, that, unlike a PC, you can hook up another Mac computer, restart the computer in a special way and have access to all of the Mac computer side of stuff that would otherwise be long gone. So, I went and bought an external harddrive today, which we should have done a million years ago, and tommorrow our fabulous friend is going to come over and save the Macintosh side of our computer. In case you were again wondering, I am using the computer today on the PC side, icky icky, because it turns out that I must have access to interent to function. Pathetic, but brutally honest. Hopefully by tommorrow night I can use my Mac internet browsers and all will be right with the world.
