After I had a complete and utter crash about 5 years ago, I had a new
computer built with a second hard drive that is set to automatically
copy the primary hard drive every 24 hours. Harry Demidavicius, an old
poster who seems to have deserted us, told me that his hard drive info
is automatically uploaded to an off-site server every 24 hours. Either
way, as my techie once told me (after my spectacular crash in '02),
it's not a matter of *if* you're hard drive is gonna do a nose dive,
it's a matter of *when*.

OB Food: Thank God, I had my recipe software backed up! Losing a
couple thousand recipes would make me cranky for a very long time.
