It’s Dead, Jim…

Been incommunicado for a while, my laptop hard drive gave up the ghost and died on me. Began to make nasty little clicking noises and finally crapped out while I was trying to save something. Too much vibration in the truck, I guess. These little drives are not made to be banged around on the passenger seat for 11 hours a day.

Got a new HD last time at the house, installed it and rebuilt the system from the restore CD. If I ever figure out who thought of restore CDs, I’d hunt him/her down and kiss ’em. Thankfully, I had most everything important backed up to an online backup service, MOZY, in this case. Saved many gigabytes of pictures and music from oblivion, all for five bucks a month. And I was thinking of getting rid of that to cut costs…

Are you backing up your PC or laptop?

NO?!?

Whadda-ya, fuckin crazy?
