Reminder: When was the last time you backed up your hard drive? If your drives crash before the night is done or if someone swiped your PC, where would you be then? What about all the "favorites" you had. And the subcriptions that paid for? One-click for your broker ... forget it! "The Street" will become history The WSJ could become a $50 annual fee for nada. SI ... gone! Not to mention EVERYTHING that would have done and everyone you have EVER contacted --- since you last made a 100% disk backup. What if ALL of your "favorites" bit the dust right now? And all of the email you have sent or received since your last "full backup" disappeared. If you have never made a "full backup", ask yourself what might happen in your life if EVERYTHING you have EVER done on a PC was lost? A friendly reminder from someone who had not one but two tapes drives* and a CD-RW backing up everything on the day it all failed. It REALLY hurt !:-(( Craig PS The DAT tape at the office failed while my 20GB HP Travan backup was under repair. After I spent the ENTIRE night making a CDR backup, I had to explain to my son and friends why we couldn't make it to Disneyland. Sometimes, life sucks. Elizabeth ... bring on the Pandas!
