Default Hard drive crashed!

Hello everyone!

I have missed you guys!! My Hard Drive crashed last week and luckily Staples was able to retrieve all of my files and should be getting them today! Whew.. I have all of my photos from 2003 on that hard drive, not to mention my layouts! Guess I should be backing up to my external hard drive more often!!

Anyways, I have missed scrapping and photography classes and thank goodness I am back online to start Jana's class!

Happy Scrapping!
Kristen

Glad you were able to get it all back through Staples. Backup is gold, by the way... But you know that.

Maureen, you're so right.

My fave quote, that I tell my pupils all the time: There are two types of people in this world: Those who back up, and those who will.

If the worst thing my husband thinks of me is that I'm obsessive about back up, I'm doing good.

He did have a recent horror story recently. A very high up govt manager had a total crash of his work computer. Fried. Nada. And worst of all - NO, I repeat, NO backup whatsoever. This man is either a scientist or an engineer, and I wonder if he thought Einstein had his back! It wasn't a pretty picture I am told...

Having been there done that I have certainly learnt my lesson with regular backups here.
