Tina I feel your pain. I am rebuilding the computer and trying to back up
to a WD sharespace. By god its slow. After 5 days it failed to back up my
photos, so in the morning I ring WD. I will spend the day working on th
eproblem and then I will have wasted so much time I should have done
SOMETHING ELSE. But what to do. I am at my wits end with back up. I KNOW
SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A DROBO and maybe I will.

Tonight I almost decided to go back to film
