Recently learned........

Just thought I'd pass on some sage advice..

Everything I have in my home can be replaced....TV's watches etc.

Just a few days ago, I got a phone call from a friend of mine that just lost his home to a fire. He explained that everything he had was replaceable..or not important.....except one item...

Digital photos...

If you're like me....my hard drive retains all the photos I've ever taken ( over 80gb )...and I'm good about backing them up to another external WD drive..and I even put them on 300 yrs. DVD's.....

the only problem...they're all in my room...in my house. If the home ever went up in flames...they'd be gone.

My recommendation..... get another portable drive...back em up once a month and keep that drive with ya at work. It's highly unlikely that both home and work go up in flames............


just my .02!
