Some days it almost works

[fbhjr]

Last night my precog was almost useful!

I got home from work and said “I must back up my computer.”
I didn’t know why.  I just felt compelled to do it.
(I try and do it once a week anyhow.  But, it’s usually more like once a
month.)

So, I went to my laptop and started it backing up.

While I did that, I noticed that the desktop computer needed to have its
iTunes and Safari updated.  So, I clicked “update” and went off and watched
TV.

When I checked later, my laptop was backed up.
The desktop next to it had failed.

That was almost some useful precognition!
I almost saved the right computer!
I seemed to know something was going bad and data needed saving.  I just
got the wrong machine.

While this is vastly more useful than my normal level that tops out at
being able to predict TV reruns, it still isn’t up to the level where it
would be really useful.

When I can predict the next card flipped or what a die roll will be, then
we’re going to the casino!

Are you able to fix the computer?

Sure.
All I need is a new hard drive and to reinstall everything.
Not a happy thing, but I've had worse.
