A Big Goof
Well now I did it, while working on my weekly radio show I accidentally knocked my laptop off the table and onto the floor. Needless to say the laptop and especially the screen did not like this and it is big messed up. I guess I’ll find out how good my accidental insurance on it is that I got with it. So needless to say for this week I’ve requested that they run a best of show from my achieves, my blogs I’ll try to update as often as I can but it may not be daily. I can not stress enough to you the importance of backing your hard drive up, my last back up was just prior to my swan hunt a few weeks ago thanks to my wife doing it for me. Even so I have about 1000 photos as well as other files that I’ve added in the past few weeks that have not been backed up. If my laptop cannot be repaired I have an external hard drive that has my latest backup on it and hopefully the tech can save the additional files I’ve added since the last backup. The costs of external hard drives is pretty low especially if you find yourself in a situation like I’m in. Thanks for your understanding and I’ll keep you posted on what happens.
I have a laptop that I work on at home and one of my biggest fears is knocking it over or dropping it. I don’t do much about back-up right now, but this post is a good reminder that I should. Guess I’ll have to look into doing that.
