Another cute flashdrive? Gimme!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I’m addicted to cute flash drives. There, I said it. I have quite a collection of them and use them all the time. I’ve backed up the back ups of my backed up back ups.
Why? Well, I lost an entire book once because I’d neglected to back up my files. I swore then it’ll never happen to me again.
I cracked up The Curmudgeon at Staples when he caught me drooling over the racks of novelty flash drives. I saw a dozen or so more I’d add to my collection. I’d kill for a bull terrier one. LOL!
You all have a good one! And don’t forget to back up those files! 😀

Do you back up everything?
Posted by doggonedmysteries

After losing several precious to me pictures and some book chapters a few years back when my computer crashed I’ve become rather anal retentive about saving things to CDs and memory drives.
I have a 2.0G SanDisk that I’ve been using for a few years and it drives me crazy because it has some junk programs that came installed on it. Thanks but no thanks I only wanted storage for my books.
With it now back to school season, I found an on-sale-super-cheap 4.0G USB memory drive put out by Dane-Elec. I’m in love with it. It is all storage and no junk programs. At the price I paid for it I’m going back to buy more, many more.
I’ll use some strictly for pictures and keep others for my writing. I might even back up my entire computer again although there are a few programs I won’t bother with since I have them on disk. Heck, if get a couple of the 8G ones I can back up things to my heart’s content.
