It goes like this: Every time I do some extremely paranoid back ups so I won't lose anything in any event... With time I grew confident and just like that BANG, a valuable diskette was lost, and with it 3 semesters of work on my college + several of my artistics works + several and useful links.

Now I recall of a prominent writer that -once they where lost- he couldn't re-produce his early works... I hope that this isn't the case...

I can recover from this fall, but it will take time.

edit: Monkeys sucks!

edit 2: My english is weird.

Ouch. Yeah, I've had a catastrophic HD crash before (hopefully it will be my ONLY one...), but luckily, I had bought a CD burner only a few months before. So, I didn't lose everything. I would have lost years of wav files, projects, images, etc. Not to mention all my Sims, which were pretty old themselves. Ah well.

Oh boy! It's summertime!

When I make documents I save like a paranoid dude..

Bill Gates, Balmer and co. are personally responsible for destroying SEVERAL term papers.

Thus the move back to DOS Word Perfect

I have at least three backup copies of everything I do, updated twice daily. It takes very little effort once you get into a system.

I lost tons of pictures of my "girlfriend" (actually a chick I've been talkin' to on the 'Net for about 5 years now) when my old computer's hard drive died. The worst losses were the only two pictures I managed to take of her during my first (and so far only) trip to see her. They were taken moments before I had to leave to go back home, so they were pretty dear to me. :/ Oh yeah, and one of them was of her tattoo, hehe. :)

JOF! Good to see you on again.

Damn, that sucks. Sorry to hear about your pictures.

On a brighter note, you'll probably wanna get the new Ministry CD (assuming you haven't gotten it yet).

Oh boy! It's summertime!
