I suggest you use online backup drive to make sure that you can still restore all your files in case of system crash. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.williamsdatamanagement.com/?p=paper-shredding-los-angeles" rel="nofollow">Ruby Badcoe</a>Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314434089797506245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-36565656739161953582012-09-11T14:11:27.218-04:002012-09-11T14:11:27.218-04:00Your printer problem sounds very aggravating, Glor...Your printer problem sounds very aggravating, Gloria. I also track down a young person when I have technical difficulties. Kids today seem to be born knowing how to use computers and cell phones.

My credit card statement recently arrived and I’ve been second guessing my decision to save the stories. But in the long run, I would have regretted it, too.

Save the stories whatever it takes.<br /><br />I'm having a printer problem, and everyone I talked to said they weren't worth fixing, but I have almost $70.00 worth of ink for that printer, which is no longer made. However, my daughter found the same exact model brand new on Ebay and ordered it for me. Everything is hooked up and the buttons on the printer light up and the ink does it's little dos-si-do back and forth, but when I hit the print button, nothing happens. I went to the printer/device place on my computer and I see I now have a copy of my originial printer, but when I try to type in the security information, it doesn't work. That's my sad tale. I guess I'll try to find a teenager to help me.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-27583720452306200772012-09-11T12:41:36.845-04:002012-09-11T12:41:36.845-04:00Save the stories, whatever it takes!
Seriously, I...Save the stories, whatever it takes!<br /><br />Seriously, I've been through my fair share of melted hard drives, back in "de olde days" when backing up files was for DoD projects (I used to be a software engineer working on communication systems for the Army/Marines), not fanciful tales. <br /><br />Each time, I had three or four unfinished novels and another score of little flash fiction exercises, all of which I felt vaguely depressed about and willing to scrap. Each time I shrugged and bought a new computer and walked away from those snippets. Now I wish I had them back.Gayle Carlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783449240138097315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-74005616249069178522012-09-11T11:31:48.213-04:002012-09-11T11:31:48.213-04:00

And I can’t even begin to understand the relationship between computers and printers.<br /><br />What I do know is during Saturday’s tornado watch, I kept my computer next to me while cowering in the basement.Kara Cerisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16484336785514235707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-82297107659037977992012-09-11T11:29:39.478-04:002012-09-11T11:29:39.478-04:00I sympathize, Warren.

Luckily, it repeated the error and that’s when the tech told me about the Blue Screen of Death—a “real” term.

In the morning, when I do wash, I often see that somehow the hangers have become intertwined over night. I'm shocked when I think of the orgies going on in my basement while we sleep. But I never imagined that printers partied the night away. Another shocking development--technology has no morality.<br /><br />Sorry for your computer troubles, Kara. I get a sick feeling thinking about it.E. B.

In the morning the repair staff told me it worked perfectly and It has ever since. I don't know if the printer and computer got into a tiff or if the printer just was a printers' night out.Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.com
