On the subject of the translation of Daedong, I notice that some of you are "Gold Members" while I am merely a member. Although we're all orange, I must admit to a little bit of, um, tractor envy.

Actually being cooped up with the winter doldrums and no seat time has started to get me a little wacky! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif As I explained in my Bio I had a dreaded hard disk failure and lost all my password etc. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif Don't even mention backup OK! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Well try as I may I could not get my old profile to work as instructed in the FAQ section. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif So I created a new one and jumped back in. So for better or for worse I am back. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Did I say don't mention the backup thing, /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif Just checking because I am feeling a little touchy right now! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Maineiac, I am sure you will feel more confident once you acheive metallic status regardless of the color. After all, most of the metals are of similar strength and are certainly up to the task. I kinda wonder what an elite member looks like (wears a beret perhaps) and I am not too jealous of the veteran members as that sounds like a softening of the image. However, that some guys are recognized as being super members, now that makes me jealous too. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Some people come to visit and you just can't get rid of them.

It's strange how the system doesn't pick up on some members to change their status. It has been that way for at least a couple of years.

( Did I say don't mention the backup thing, /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif )

I need to chime in here about this.

I am an IT manager and after enough remote users crashing and losing data we have started issuing

IOMEGA 33214 External 80GB USB 2.0 Hard Drive

These come with backup software and are only about a hundred bucks, and very easy to use. (Our salesmen can even use it).

Not all usb drives have backup software. So make sure whatever you get comes with it.

Cheers.

Ouch! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Some people remember everything. But a point well taken. Broken hard drives are easier to replace than broken bones! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I do seem to learn most of my lessons the hard way!

Did I say don't mention the backup thing. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Here is the story which adds insult to injury. I have two hard drives. I backup my important files from the first to the second. That way if one dies I have the other. Good so far, right, well I partitioned the first drive 160GB into a primary and an extended, and then created two smaller partitions within them. Here is where I made my mistake. When I backed up my files I thought I had selected the 40GB second drive but I had selected a partition on the the first. So when the drive mechanically died I was quite surprised not to find my backups on the second drive. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif So your suggestion to use the USB as a backup drive is a very good idea. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif But if and only if the operator can tell the difference between a,b,c,d,e,f, & g. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif I'm working on it! Thanks for the input.
