Have a great Wednesday!

So far, so good. PSA follows:

BACK UP YER STUFF!!!!!

I managed to lose 3 weeks' worth of data last week, and recovery so far has been hampered severely by Mr. Murphy.

End PSA.

Awwww, Jinxie, so sorry to hear this. You need an external hard drive that backs up your stuff.

Oh no! I feel your pain.

At work, they back up every night.

At home, I learned the hard way after losing 2 hard drives in a month. I plug in an external about every other night and copy stuff, that is important to me, to it.

I also copy important downloads, and other stuff from the C drive. It sure helps when trying to figure out what I lost.

Good luck outwitting Mr Murphy!!

You say “PSA” and the first thing I think of is my last prostate biopsy. UGH!
