OT OT Excel ??????
Massive book :-((
Mike Make sure you take regular backups of your files to CD, memory stick or other media and preferably ask someone else (a family member) to keep the copies at their house. The lost count of the number of times over the years I've heard the sad tale of people writing a book or PhD thesis on a computer only for the hard drive to fail or computer get nicked - and no backup copies! The reason for keeping backups "off-site" is in case of a fire. People commonly keep backup disks in a draw next to their computer which of course become useless too. If you are concerned about third parties looking at your backups then simply password protect them, or use WinZip with encryption and a password. A question I'm commonly asked is "How often should I do a backup of my work" - I always give the same reply "How much work are you prepared to lose and have to re-do?" David. |

I do do that, not often enough I must say, but I did do a massive back up a few days ago. The majority I have on computer is data and a few 'epistles'. Most of the work I do is passing information on to others. I am a sort of 'base' and that is why I have been asked to give lectures and give talks of 'Special Interest'. A lap top linked to the latest type of projector is a god send now. Two pieces of equipment and no books/lecture notes :-)) THAT is why back up is so important :-)) Thanks again Mike -- The Royal Naval Electrical Branch Association.
