Lemme get this straight; The deaf guy is scared of thunder.

airtwardo 6 #27 April 3, 2013 Quote Quote Lost my hard drive a couple months back during one of these, not taking any chances again! Hey ya old fart. Buy an external USB drive (even better if you find one that will run off of USB power) and back your stuff up to it once a week or so. When it's not actively backing up, UNPLUG IT and put it in a safe place. Got one but it's full of porn! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In MY case by 'porn' I mean airshow pics, skydiving pics, etc... But yeah I should back up everything I guess. REALLY don't need to go through the WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL MY MUSIC with Capt.

wmw999 2,122 #35 April 5, 2013 Well, the ATT guy came out today to fix the system (the new box they shipped didn't). He went outside to look, and his technical assessment was "it's fried." Big black scorch mark inside the phone box, and he doesn't trust the phone wiring inside the house any more. So, we're getting lots of new wires festooned up the side of the house...
