My desktop's hard drive was giving me messages of an impending crash, so I had it replaced. I was using an old version of Agent that I kept on my desktop and I backed up my desktop to Google drive before I took it in. Wow! I don't have any saved messages, but here I am using it as if nothing happened. Thank you Google Drive! Life is a lot easier when I don't have to download the program, fill in all the blanks and cripple it back to the way I want it. -- Good Food. Good Friends. Good Memories. |

This is the group with the most saved posts and zero appeared, but another has all the saved posts and a third seems to have saved posts without the subject header filled in. All is not as cool as I thought - but it's certainly better than starting from scratch. -- Good Food. Good Friends. Good Memories. |

I need to hold mine as they are put to >sleep. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't. Uninstalling Agent doesn't get rid of all of it. The majority of your stuff (not the program itself) is stored on your computer on hidden files. I came to this conclusion after I tried un-installing Agent several times. I would then install a new Agent and Voila! all my contacts, messages, everything was still there. I suspicioned that there were hidden files, but of course I couldn't find them. If you go to Agent online and query ( I don't remember what words I used), the Agent site will provide you with directions on how to find these hidden files. Husband passed his stone. The pain he had seemed much like going through childbirth. About Baxter, he was with us for 14 years. He took care of me when I came home from my first cancer surgery. He was a gentle soul that babysat the feral cat's babies when she went carousing for a couple of hours. My eyes are still burning and swollen. We both lay on the floor holding him while waiting for the mobile vet and during the shots. I think he knew, he was so calm. His health had become so bad. He was different than any other. He was family and friend. Thank you for acknowledging his passing Janet US |

Unfortunately, this is a new hard drive - so there are no hidden files to search! The lost TOC that I'd love to recover is rec.food.cooking - but to be perfectly honest, I never looked at saved messages anyway, so it forced a cleanup. :) > Husband passed his stone.

Hmm... normal folk pee through their uretha, but sf pees through her vagina... her knowlege of human anatomy is absolutely thrilling! Kidney stones that are large enough to cause discomfort are not microscopic, people pass microscopic kidney stones constantly and feel nothing. Of course one needs to consider the size of the stone relative to the diameter of the tube through which it passes... sf's birth canal can pass the rock of gibralter.

Backups are good, I have a similar setup including my wife's on the network so important files are in multiple places.. Also good is a good computer tech. The guy I've used for both personal and business amazed me at times. He's been able to copy files from "dead" hard rives to new ones. Sensible prices too. |
