Then again, even if I lost most of my files, I'd be annoyed but there's nothing vital in there (150GB of photos is a lot of memories though!)


I keep meaning to sort out the 'important' ones and get them printed for even safer keeper but never get around to it.
That IS a lot of photos, but that great idea of saving space and organising, is just not going to happen. Get yourself a 400GB external now and to hell with it. That is how I ended up buying the second, 300GB unit. I only had 70 GB of piccies, but an equal amount of music, as the expensive/impossible to replace items and it all goes to DVD after this little schemozzle, starting tomorrow.

I arrive here on Pprune in good cheer - all of my emails are safe and now back on the new installation, ( I put Outlook on the E drive, just in case... :-) ) So far, the damage is fairly light, thanks to the measures I wrote about earlier. I feel like a Cat with 18 lives, but I am still twitching. God, that was close...
