n online resource for a bunch of aspiring writers, I keep harping about bac=
kups, and I seem to be getting through to few people. Horror stories about =
losing a years work in a hard drive crash, tend to make you think twice. It=

it's not. M$ makes it really hard by scattering important files and setting=

osyncracies in Word anyway.
