And let me guess, since you're in the IT field you're very good at telling people to make sure to back ups, but like the rest of us in the IT field, you don't always follow your own good advice.

Hey, nice idea Matt, should patent it and sell it to the government, definitely sounds impressive! Maybe Lockheed will win the contract even!

Right on the money, Ron. I'm going to go buy some CDs and back up my data before I turn off my computer again, just in case it won't start up again on the 30th try.

Back ups? We don't need any stinkin' backups!
Good luck Marilyn. I'm sure we all are teasing you with love and adoration.

I back my stuff up onto RW CD's. The only problem is that when I use the RW on JM's game platform, its also our internet access pc. some files on the CD get corrupted !!!
Frusrating because I use the RW to xfer stuff I've downloaded to the notebook !!!.

hmmmm... very interesting! actually, my problem was due to over-heating. i had the old Slot-A AMD Athlon 850Mhz processor and apparently they get too hot. now i have a 1.7Ghz and it is working just fine.
