Laptop wear and tear

Torn Rose · 2004-02-23, 06:20 PM

Content wise I burn it to a dvd/cd as soon as I get it, so I lost nothing on that.

Toni just bought her laptop Wednesday, so the files I really need have been saved on her laptop, so I lost nothing on that.

Emails, I lost 2 or so months of those, which will hurt, but not as bad as it could have been.

Right now the only thing I’m pissed over (besides this even happening) is I "work" for other people who trust me with some real private and personal info, which I never backed up, so I have to get with them once more and get all of that. Which isn’t hard, just annoying.

Talking to a lot of my friends, I'm by far the "most anal" when it comes to backing things up. I know a few who do not save their “raw” images at all, which just drives me nuts!

Right now I’m still waiting for Dell to let me know when I will get the new HD, We was planning on a road trip next week and I’m working off a desktop that I had just cleaned up to have only video editing and house camz to run, but now I am forced to put email and icq and other “basic” programs back on so I can work. So I’m stressing over the timing and all the extra work I have to do.

I sure could use a smoke right now, mind puffing a few for me Cleo? I’ll be happy to do the same for you some day.
