We've grown to respect him as .:no help:. and then this IT consultant's hard drive crashed and he lost years worth of data.
 Of course, what is the first thing he reinstalls? COD UO. He has been a stealth killer fighting as "Unknown Soldier" for a couple of days and last night he was inspired by the name "Delagator." Give him some time and he may get around to reinstalling his spell checker and then perhaps we'll get to know him as "Delegator," but whatever he goes by, show him respect as he is one of the best out there. -HammaTime |

I have an external hard drive that I thought was safe to save my images and important info to. Recently, while saving my info, I somehow lost everything on the external hard drive. I was dumbstruck. How the hell could that happen. It isn't even plugged in until I need it. It didn't get a static shock or anything. But somehow in the middle of making a backup it failed and lost everything.
Luckily my main hard drive still had everything on it. How about that? I lose the backup, but keep the main! Since then I've been in the process of making backups to cd, but it takes soooooo damn long. The lesson here is... Damned if you do, damned if you don't... LOL --------------------   |

LOL LOL I am working on a quadruple redundancy backup system now. Hard drive- DVD - and to USB drive, which then goes to my network drive at work... which is also backed up. LOL cant be to careful!! My IT gophers at work wonder about why I need 2gb on my network drive though... but I just tell them that data is something you can't get back, so they just nod in agreement with blank looks:) Hamma, you are a freelance photographer then? I am in the market for a good digital camera, is digital ready for real photographs? Any suggestions in the under $1000 range? I do get all caught up in the game... I had BIG plans for that flamethrower!   |
