Default Backup, backup!

Last week, one of my computer programs wasn't working right. Short form,
is that I find out MS doesn't support XP anymore, and I can't get the
computer working the way it used to. The way I liked. This new
Thunderbird isn't very easy to use, at least compared to OE. I tried
downloading a service pack from a non MS website, and got some kind of
malware, that really made a mess of my drive, and my slave drive. Ended
up buying a new drive, and I'm in the process of reformatting the drive
I'd been using. Still can't get Outlook Express to work. Lost a lot of
files, data, and thousands of old emails that were either not backed up,
or can't be read with the new email program.

Just reminding y'all to make CD, DVD, and external drive backups of
anything you consider valuable.



Or use old technology like real photographs, pencil, paper, and real
books. Seventy five percent of adults prefer real books according to
this: http://tinyurl.com/mtg5wbt
Old story, possibly even true. Supposedly NASA spent a lot of money
creating a pen that would write in the almost zero gravity of space.
The Russians gave their cosmonauts pencils.
