That's not fair! whine . . . sniffle. . .sniffle . . .

I did a good and responsible backup. I'd been doing so for a number of years. The latest form it took was Symantec Ghost and a very tidy little Western Digital 120-gig external hard drive. I did a full backup every couple of months. Not as often as I could have, but I'd have been lucky to have lost only 2 months of material. The trick is to put the backup drive out of sight and away from where it will be picked up with further ransacking of the house, should it occur.

Just so you know. I tried!
