It seems to be part of human nature that no defensive action is taken against threats until after the first incident - I too have lost all my data from a virus attack...

Which also seems to ensure that most women will have at least one child....




Don't worry, I know where the door is...

Skarpidarlin'! Good to hear from you and I, too, am sorry about the virus attack. Have fun with your gigs, painting your house (we just finished ours, yippee!!), the roof and the daughter's driving, oh boy!

May Iceland's economy recover quickly. We don't have much left for the Getaway right now, either, but by Autumn, we hope to have enough saved up. I really want to see you and everyone else!!

Ast,

Kat/Katrinka! (What my mom called me sometimes as I was born in North Dakota where there were a lot of Norwegians.:-)

Actually you "may" be able to recover some files by using a deleted file recovery program. And yes, they can even work post re-format.

Skarpi, what about getting one of those external hard drives that you can back up your whole computer onto? Wouldn't like to lose you again (or have you lose your computer contents again). Welcome home and have a great summer!

sorry about the virus attack - and a good thing you now have parantel control on your computer - parents tend to try to take over computer usage so control over them is a good thing.

Hope to see you this November!

Skarpi min,

Sorry to hear about the virus attack. I had one a few years back and that is when I determined that I would not store data files solely on my computer. Consider getting some of the various flash memory units. I picked up a 5 gigabyte flash memory which plugs into the USB port. All files and important data go on it. I also back up all files every so often to a CD. I know how devastating this can be. And make sure that you get a good Spy Sweeper as well as Norton. I have both and they automatically update and run sweeps for me on a weekly basis.

I am hoping that you can make Getaway, my dear friend. It is a great gathering to begin with, and made all the better by your presence.

All the best,

Mick
