I really, really hope your son can recover everything on your external drive! I don't back up my files the way I should, but instead every so often I do copy all my documents, music, and pictures to cds. Don't want to lose any of those - don't really want to reinstall extra programs I've added, but at least I do have installation disks for most everything in case of a fatal crash that can't be fixed.
The sun is shining today, and most all of the snow has melted. (which is the way I like it - one day is enough with that wet, cold, white stuff covering the ground!) :)
Thanks for new quotes for WFW, and I still get a kick out of that little dog fussing at the big dog in the opening. :)
Try not to STRESS too much! (yeah, right - like I never do when my pc has problems. Get SOOOOO tired of rebooting every little update of test!)
