I had all of my important stuff up there and it wasn't backed up. However, most of my photos are on this sight site, my web pages, and photobucket and facebook. So those are backed up. I did have a lot of family photos that are gone and so is my family tree. Lesson to be learned. Backup on more than one drive or face consequences.

ARRGGHHH!
Just a friendly reminder to monitor your credit charges closely!! Seems my number was hi-jacked while on vacation LAST YEAR and just used by the rotten scoundrel this week! 
Shoutout to my buds at AMEX, though! They caught it and fixed it and I had a new card the very next day!!  |

Well, lucky me too! It turns out a lot of the main material was backed up on the C drive. Back in business. I immediately backed it up again on another external drive. Back to Office Depot for an exchange. But they will give me grief because it is 16 days. They only warrant 14 days.  |

wow, a hard drive that only lasted 16 days? Tell them the MTBF on them is in the hundreds of thousands of hours now and it didn't quite reach that.
Did it totally die, like not even turn on? or did it start gashing up the disc before Windows returned the sector error messag? I keep stuff on several different computers and external hard drives.

Isn't it amazing that we can have TB of data storage right at our fingertips, at home, now? Amazes me.

the 1.5's are out now too. What really amazes me are the micro SD cards. They are up to 32 Gb's now and you can get one for a little over $100. |

Unfortunately, I am also feeling the current economy, and I can't buy more tech goodness yet.  |

I'm saving for the trip, so I have to be frugal too. I do plan on getting a little netbook for the trip, though. I have a Dell outlet coupon and can get a Mini 10 for $287 |
