72283 2002-08-19 05:10:00 When I acquired my first 386 PC back in 1992 I bought a Collins 8 X 5 hard cover index book into which I enter all CD keys, registration details, serial numbers and all other information relevant to all software. Also place a self-adhesive label on the CDs or floppies bearing the same information. Saves a lot of head scratching! Sami (667)
72284 2002-08-19 05:23:00 But Sami, you were supposed to use the computer, and store such information in a file on the hard disk. That would mean that when he disk crashed, you could replace the disk, and have all the essential information to reinstall everything safely on the computer's hard disk .... which GAAAAH ... :D Graham L (2)

72286 2002-08-19 05:41:00 Mmmm, yes, I know, and I feel really guilty when I reach for my little notebook and pencil. Pure ludditeism, but it works! Sami (667)
72287 2002-08-19 05:43:00 What's a luddite?? Chilling_Silence (9)
72288 2002-08-19 06:07:00 Luddites spurn technology, live a simple life (a little like, or stricter than, Amish)

There used to be a wonderful site www.luddite.com (its gone now) that was a satirical offering of luddite laptops (made of natural wood)

72289 2002-08-19 06:45:00 Actually, the Luddites were an early 19 century political and social movement in the UK comprising radical reformers and workers who resisted the introduction of machinery that replaced manual labour in factories and on farms. During the Napoleonic wars there was much unemployment, low wages and starvation. Some resorted to violence and destruction of looms and similar plant. It was not a religious movement. Sami (667)
