OH NO!!!!!

What would I do if my pc failed? Well, my pc did fail and because of that, I learned a valuable lesson---back-up—back-up—back-up! My life wasn’t affected by the crash, but my job was. I had many valuable lesson plans, worksheets, student grades, student surveys, great links……….I had to redo those as I needed them—many never got redone. Since I purchased most of my software on discs, I could easily reload that. The other thing I lost that I can’t replace is many pictures from my trip to Italy. Guess I'll have to make a trip back there! I am careful now—I have good anti-virus software and I have backed up all my files. The neat part is that this backup was originally done on CDs—after taking Louis’s class, I have also backed them up in Dropbox. My equipment is all plugged into surge bars. So, for now I feel kind of safe—but machines are machines and cyberspace can be filled with many unfriendly aliens. You never know what will happen.
