Why does everyone insist on external hard drives or storage web sites? I back up all my ebooks on a flashdrive that I keep in a safe location. Of course, my husband backs up all our computers (we have 8 at the moment) on the 2TB external hard drive, but I would really like to know why no one mentions the flash drives. Is there something inherently wrong with them that would make them a poor choice?
@ DGma ~ The same thing happened to me with one of my first laptops. We were able to retrieve most of the data off of the damaged hard drive, but I lost one of the best recipes for pound cake that I've ever made. It was given to me by a woman who had experimented with the recipe for years before she got it "just right". I still moan about that loss every time I start to make a pound cake.
@ K C ~ Don't let the poor excuse for a man get you down. I bet you have much more fun on your own. When I was younger and BH (before husband) I much preferred showing up on my own (or, more accurately, with a group of friends). We always seemed to have the better time than those who came with dates.
Have a great time.
