Hi Everyone! I have learned an important lesson recently, "Always Backup Your Computer!"

This lesson was learned the hard way- my computer was infected with not just one, but three Trojan Horse Viruses. When it was happening, it reminded me of the computer "Dave" (I think that was it's name anyways!) from Space Odyssey 2001. It was possessed, and I fully expected it to melt down to a puddle of smoking wires and gooey plastic in front of my eyes. It didn't, but I took it down to our computer guy and he actually got it running again! (I was really sweating it out for over a week!)I now have a few more "dead sectors" on my hard drive, but all of my documents and pictures have been saved, as well as most of my programs. I am lucky!  Anyways, on Amazon.com I purchased a little gadget called a Clickfree Automatic Backup (for under $98.00 and free shipping) it plugs into the USB port and does it's thing without any effort on my part and it's got enough brain space to backup multiple computers! A marriage made in heaven!  I've missed blogging, so I'm off to do drudgery housework, and when I take a break, I'll blog some more!
