I Hate Operating System Corruptions!

A major inconvenience happened to me on the Pacific Surfliner.

I was on the way to Palm Springs and thought that I could get some work done because there was WiFi on the train.  Right?

Wrong.  I got The Blue Screen of Death!  It seems that something was corrupted with Windows 10 resulting in the inability to boot the laptop.  That meant stripping out all the apps and reloading Windows, which I was doing as the train sped toward Fullerton.  I thought I had everything straightened out once in Palm Springs.  Right?

Wrong again!  It corrupted a second time.  Which meant another reload and at thorough exam of the hard drive using a new virus scanner / disk maintainer.  So far, THAT has seemed to work and it is now back to the dual tasks of making up for a lost day and reinstalling all the apps that got deleted so that the operating system could be properly reloaded.

Let's hope I don't have to do that again.
