I am amazed at the educated guesses about the (I'm not too sure how to
say this) content? of a picture depicting something that isn't there. How didn't the OP not manage to take a picture of itn't? |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Weatherlawyer" saying something like: How didn't the OP not manage to take a picture of itn't? For sure, itt's a sensible thing to do. We should take pictures of all the little bits and bobs that go to make up larger items in the event of them going missing. These days, with HD storage being so cheap, I'd imagine an entire household could be accomodated several times over, thus opening up the possibility of providing a service for the neighbours - just in case they lose something too. -- Dave |

The message
from Grimly Curmudgeon contains these words: These days, with HD storage being so cheap, I'd imagine an entire household could be accomodated several times over, thus opening up the possibility of providing a service for the neighbours - just in case they lose something too. All my treasured data is backed up onto DVDs in the fire safe, and across the LAN and to my brother's LAN 40 miles away. I know this doesn't get round the obselescence problem, but it does at least (with proper journalled backups) reduce the chances of losing all the photos of the kids. Also, a fair few of the choicest pics have been printed (proper photoprints, not inkjets) and given to other rellies. -- Skipweasel Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. |

Just to clarify, the original post in this thread in the web site, which
seems to strip it out and shove it at the top of each thread reads thus. .. posted on July 28, 2006, 4:02 pm So all of our messages poking fun at recent posts are because of this. If the original poster has not come up with an answer by now, then there is no hope for any of us. grin. Please when you do post to this list via the web forum portal on that web site, make sure by looking to the date of the original post that its not wildly out of date. Also if its a new query, give as much info as you can. If its a comment on a quoted message,then make sure the quote is actually in that message or it will not be of much use. Now back to your scheduled content. Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff... Blind user, so no pictures please!
