<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2216655, member: 4373&quot;]Hi everyone, I have not been active in the forum for a while. There is a good reason - my laptop of 5 years have decided to &#039;die&#039; and that caused some grief. I suspect the erratic weather caused the motherboard to short circuit. I have less idea if the data on the laptop survived but hope that they did. So far I have been managing without a computer while saving up to get a decent computer. It has been inconvenient but I guess you can always get around.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On the topic of data, there has been a lot of numismatic related files that was on my computer. Last I remembered from a few years ago, I had more than 30gb of data in it which put me off backing up on dvd. That included a fair amount of photos, articles, coin album designs, etc. Bad call! Thankfully, the majority of important personal files, photos etc are on an external drive.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know it isn&#039;t really numismatic related but when you have taken time and effort to record your personal collection - make sure you spare some time to back them up!!!!!!! Just a friendly reminder. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
