Got a new one just in time with an external hard drive for back up. It could have happened to me at any time too. I just got lucky with my timing. Jeff brings up a good point of a backup outside of the home too. Have to think about that.<br /><br />So sorry.Bonnie Zieman, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00282469017360136275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-25632356433144797952010-08-09T13:53:27.520-05:002010-08-09T13:53:27.520-05:00We've gotten bad about just leaving the pics o...We've gotten bad about just leaving the pics on the chips instead of even putting them on the computer.

Lost a year's worth of baby pictures of Laura.<br /><br />Now I have a scheduled backup that runs every day and backs everything up to a usb drive; and another program that runs once a week and copies all my stuff over the internet to a file on my computer at work - so I even have an offsite backup in case my house ever burns down...Paranoid? Yup.
