HD Crash
Ack! After a wonderfully productive week of writing, and before I’d backed up everything, my computer’s harddrive crashed. I’m now logging on from an old laptop. Fortunately, I’d been uploading PDFs to this site as I go. At worst, then, I’ll have to resort to OCR or brute typing to recreate the Word docs I’ve lost. And if things work out very well, the pros on the Geek Squad will be able to recover my lost data. I’ve been slowed, but hardly stopped.

We need to have two twin hard drives on our PC. It’s about two hard drives —one mirroring the other one. So if one crashes, then you still have the other one. Probability that the two crash at the same time is as thin as the chance that Consensus Point’s David Perry will answer one of my e-mails —that is, one out of one billion.

    Two hard drives? Nah. I just need to stop being a bonehead, and start backing up more often. But thanks
