But, I had backed up all of my work first to a USB and then to an external hard drive*whew*

Thanks to the economic recovery mandated by Congress, all accounting professionals now dress this way.

BACK UP YOUR WORK DAILY!

May I shake your hand? (I would have said 'touch the hem of your garment,' but that's so tight I'd be doing other touching, too.) Because you are the very first person I've known whose hard drive failed and who had a complete back-up.

Maryn, bowing low before you

Hugs back, Maryn!

I've lost so much to system failures over the years, that I'm a maniac about it.

But this time I was lucky. I had just bought the external drive and had just done a complete backup....and the next day it died.

Unfortunately, my daughter lost her final paper and had to spend memorial day retyping it from notes.


Have I mentioned that everyone should back up everything? Back up your financial software frequently.

You can make up more fiction, but the government does not look kindly on folks who fictionalize finances
