Did you feel the earth tremble 1:00 mountain?

If you did it was my fault! I signed up for 1.5 mb DSL today! This saturday I should be off of dialup at 26k! All I have to figure out is how to configure the DSL modem and I have help for that. I'm joining all of you and I' should be able to download my own videos.

About 4 months ago I had the main hard drive that held all of my pictures and videos crash. After a $1,800 dollar recovery, they had to repair the hard drive main electronics board, I got almost all of them back on a brand new 1.5 Tb drive. Guess what? It crashed last week! Stupid Seagate drives! I'm taking it back to where I used to work tomorrow to see if it can be recesitated. If not, maybe the company that did the original recovery might have a copy left over. If not, a bunch of years of pictures and video is gone. I'll soon be backing everything I ever did on a new drive and a new backup drive. Luckily I have a ton of stuff on my website so all isn't lost. I'm beginning to hate computers. You probably might say it should have been backed up any way. Thats easy to say until you start to think of the gigabytes of stuff I have taken in pictures and video over the years. In a month or so everything I have will be backed up!

thats what cds are for. copy all your photos to cd you will have a mound of them but there is a chance you will still have them for a lot of years.
