Wow, I can't belive I've been gone for so long, it's been at least over a month. Hopefully you guys caught my post from a few weeks back or so about my computer problems. I had been able to use another computer just to give you guys the heads-up, but I didn't think it would take this long to get my computer up and running again.
Apparently my computer got some bad virus and got "very very messed up" (that's all that I've been told

). It took a few weeks just for my dad to get the computer over to a guy where he works to get it fixed,
then it took a couple weeks to find out what was wrong and decide on how to fix it. It was the kind of error where right when you turn on the computer, you get an error message and it automatically shuts off. The guy fixing it said he needed an administrative password which noone in my family knew, so we ended up wiping the computer clean.

So I've lost a bundle of programs (including Photoshop which I'm not sure if I can get back

), and a ton of files, most I don't even remember, but at least the computer should be like brand new now (and I can actually
use it

).
Anyways, I'm just glad to be able to get back here, I've probably missed a ton of things since the last time I was here, which was before I left on vacation in July.

It'll be great to catch up with everybody here and meet anyone who joined during my absence (which I hope is a lot

). And hopefully you guys can fill me in on what I've missed (and maybe direct me to some important posts or somethin') to help get me back on track.

So it's great to be back, thought I would have a longer post for this yet I'm kind of wordless for just the return post.

Hopefully everyone now knows why I disappeared for so long, I wish I could've given a better message beforehand, but now you also know that when I'm missing for a while it's because my computer doesn't wanna wake up for me.

Now for some forums digging..
