Booted Out of WA
I know you all are expecting me to give you a sob story about how I didn't pay attention to the rules. So, I got booted out of WA.
Not the case.
My computer stopped booting. It is a scary thing to look at your computer, power it up and nothing happens. Dead as a doornail.
Fortunately we have a great repair center here in Knoxville. Although they were not able to get my box going again, they were able to come up with an alternative.
I got an unplanned vacation from the online world but I came through it OK. I'm a bit behind and I am quite glad that I have still retained my harddrive. (They installed the old harddrive in another computer).
I am also busy backing up all of my data. I had not been rigorous with my data backups. I got lucky this time. You might not.
When was the last time you did a full backup of your stuff? Set a schedule and stick to it. You never know when you will fall prey to a catastrophic failure of your hardware like I did.

That headline was a sure attention grabber I am so happy that everything is OK now Wishing you all the best.
I am another guilty guy when it comes to backing up.
I will take your advise and improve.
Just can't let WA slip through my fingers because of a failed computer.
Certainly got my attention though.
Glad everything is working out. Hate to lose a good member like you. A valuable member of this team, you are.

So sorry that happened to you, Craig! It happened to me once, too---only I never got any of my info. back. The manuscript to a novel I was working on (6 chapters) was lost forever! I did rewrite what I had lost, but it wasn't the same.
Thanks for the reminder! It is time!
Erin :)!
