two steps forward

one GIANT STEP BACK!!! Ahhhhh. Sometimes I really can't believe myself. So I figured out tonight how to create the action I needed in order to properly size my photographs so I can create disks. Well... wouldn't you know it in typical "me" fashion right after wards I tripped over my computer on my way out of my room and totally broke the drive.
They call me "grace." It was my fault entirely because I had not looked down to realize that I neglected to push in the disk drive. I'm just really ticked at myself and am not sure how to rectify.
Perhaps I'm out of touch, but I don't think replacing the drive is too terribly expensive. It's just going to be a hassle. If anyone out there has a suggestion or knows a computer guru on the island I could contact it would be greatly appreciated.
