Then back up our HD!
Copying that sort of stuff to a reference file has always been
a habit of mine even when the digital age was going thru
puberty. First camera was the DC40 then a few months later
a DC120. Still have some pictures stored on a floppy from
that. Those pictures probably look like the checker board
floor at Classic Parts compared to the hi-res stuff we're
used to today.
What's always been my downfall is not flossing, and---not
backing up my HD. So---I've got several old hard drives
sitting on the shelf in the basement with stuff like we are
taking about on them. Had a bunch of my photos on Webshots
when I first joined the 'bolt but they all got lost when it
folded. One of the bolters gave me a couple of old obsolete
Dell's last year and when the snow gets to be knee deep this
winter and my wood pile is used up heating the barn, I'm
gonna spend some time down in the man cave and try to
recover some of those old photos.
Some people never learn, me for one, I still haven't backed up
my new confuser and it's got a year and a half's worth of
work on it. Ya see, I can't get it to recognize that monster
external drive I bought for the old system, to many bits in
the new Dell for it to chew, or something like that. And I
ain't about to start storing anything of mine out there on a
cloud, they already own enough of me.
So, I've got all those pictures from this Utility Tray thread,
in a file, on a HD, somewhere in a box, on some shelf in the
dark corner of the basement.
Long winded aren't I! Just killin' time while I build up the
courage to go spend the next 12 hours in that cold, cold
barn. Burned up two pair of cotton gloves in the microwave
yesterday in an attempt to get some feeling in my fingers
so I could twist wire nuts out there.
