I recently
had a problem with my computer that caused me no end of grief. Grief, in the
fact my password list, WIPs, and more are inaccessible to me because of the
problem with my newest computer, causing me to start over from the beginning
with everything.
There are
many places one can use to save work to access anytime from anywhere, which I
should have done. There is the cloud, memory sticks, CDs, or any type of
removable hardware that allows you to access your hard work in case the
computer crashes.
This post is
to enlighten you to the possible damage which can be caused by a computer glitch
or worse. You could lose everything. From personal experience, I can say that starting
over from scratch sucks.
A memory stick
that plugs into a USB port is cheap compared to the time spent on projects. I
will be using some type of storage device that can be removed from the computer
and stored in a save place so I never lose my work again.
I recommend
anyone working on a book or list of some type spend the money and get at least
a 2 Gigabyte flash card for saving work to make it safe from hackers if you use
the cloud or some online storage site. Personally, I don’t trust my information
to someone I only know as a site and no one behind it.
Please save
your work so you never have to go through what I have been for weeks.
