Several years ago I had a HD crash. It was full of client 'design files' I 
was in a panic. I had three recovery firms quote on the work. The cheapest 
was $2,000. And at the time we were talking a 10 gig drive. I figured that 
it would be cheaper to recreate a file if it became necessary.

So now - at a dollar a gig - each day we don't back up to two or more 
Maxtors or equivs - is just one more day of us acting stupid.

And I'm dah-one-a-dem. I'm ordering today! Thanks for reminding me of my 
stupidity.

Fond regards,
