Flash has its place, and that's for cartoons of Salad Fingers, or playing Centipede.... but not for videos (youtube) of flash animations like salad fingers. Seriously WTF. Why make a video of a flash animation your only converting it to a a more f***ed up version of flash. |

| 1187472 | 2011-03-20 22:04:00 | yes I've been doing backups ever since the 1980's onto 5 inch floppy disks. I have a very complicated manual system that I have typed out. But the thing is it keeps changing with the media and the size of the files. And in what folders I keep them. Eg to CD rom, to DVD to pen drive and now to several hard drives. I have got a couple of hard drive stored at another place. But it is hard keeping track of it all. Movies and pics etc. But I do daily backs up of my actual "data" word docs, spreasheets and databases etc. But sometimes you get busy or lazy and miss things. |

| 1187474 | 2011-03-20 22:23:00 | Since I am about to go out so all computers will be off I have just manually run both mine and SWMBO's backups. Including the monthly C drive images | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1187475 | 2011-03-21 23:30:00 | one thing I see a lot, people do backups, and good on them, but NEVER try them out - A good time to try out a backup is when you've decided to re-install from scratch. One of the problems with Win7 is that it doesn't have the same need for regular re-installs... |
