Preventing The Crash....no not that one.

The Crash

Holy Geez, please don't think I'm gonna add to the flood of "Hey, guess what?  We're in a recession" type articles and editorials that are everywhere.  I'm talking about my PC.  I love my PC, it's got cool blue and red lights, and a window, etc.  That is really cool to look at during those late hours of scowering over the County Courthouse records, but it does not stop your computer from crashing.  CRASH!  Everything gone, from spreadsheets to contacts.  Wiped from existence.  I wanted to call from help, but I couldn't.  All my contacts were in my PC, so remembering them seemed laughable.  I remember, before iPhones and computers, when I could spout out at least 30+ phone numbers and addresses.  I had to remember, no choice.  That is what Rocks about technology!  I have a choice to store it in my mind or the PC's, but my PC's mind can CRASH!  After the initial shock, and maybe a little weeping, I remembered about the External Harddrive.  Give it up for the External Harddive!!  750Gigs of automatic back up there at the ready.  Once the carcass of the old harddrive was thrown out, and a new shiny one in it's place; it was a simple drag and drop.  Booyah!  Back in business.  So, please, if you do not already own an external harddrive, go get one.
