Good to hear from you General. Hope all is well.

**onlooker** · 03-14-09, 02:08 PM

Sounds fun.

**The General** · 03-14-09, 02:08 PM

I am ok but the nerves cannot take much more, Sir.

Kids let this be a lesson. When a 400 lb man steps on a laptop it crashes.

**The General** · 03-14-09, 02:12 PM

Last Sunday night I trip over the cord and pulled my laptop off the bed and killed it, also. Run of bad luck, pavy.

Genny I think I know you better than anyone else without ever meeting you.

**jjgold** · 03-14-09, 02:22 PM

Pete you need new stuff, you alwys have old pcs and you pay for it in situations like this.

**The General** · 03-14-09, 06:10 PM

True Gold.

Quiet Riot had this in mind with Bang Your Head.

virus from downloading porn?

**The General** · 03-14-09, 06:21 PM

Evening, Bobby. I rarely do porn anymore. Actually when this transpired I was googling some odd forums reading up on Casineto.com concerning a gambling dispute. I may have gotten infected from one of those pages I think.

If I could get the external HD restore to work and my SBR address to send, I'd be about finished I think, but there will be odds and ends come up along the way. This has been a busy process since about 2 PM yesterday.

Emails working now and the Outlook Express 6 Simpletech External hard drive backup was ok. I did a full backup on May 27, 2008 and only incremental backups since then so it will take time to backup all of the daily stuff for the last few months, but I got back almost 5 years of data on my PC from the full backup. I am not an expert on this stuff, but I was able to reinstall the system, get er back running with all current updates and the thing isn't choking like it did previously. Now that I know I can recover everything, I will feel better.

How often do you backup your emails?

I don't have fairly enough important emails to back-up but as soon as I saw that you were using Outlook I sighed. I have found that program to be so unreliable over the years that I will go out of my way to not use it. I can not quote any right now but there are a few other reliable email clients out there and I think Mozilla has a very nice one.

Been almost exactly 1 week since the crash and I just rebooted. The browser seemed slow loading. I will likely die if this happens again a week later. I am real nervous about this happening.
