hello friends, i have learned my lesson the hard way, for quite some time i had
been building a music collection of my favourite tracks over years, some very
hard to obtain now, i had them in a folder on my desktop, never realising how
precarious they were sitting there, despite warnings from friends to transfer
the material on to a pen drive or save the tracks on to CD's i kept putting
it off, "will do it during the week" of course i never did, then came the
inevitable crash i lost everything, i actually could have cried,, so once
bitten twice shy, i got myself two good pen drives, plus now a terrabite
external drive, it won't happen again, just a reminder, thanks paul for all
your advice and help on this list, take care, travel safely, joe.,
