I've watched a couple of tornados. I have the external hard drive (actually two of them, just in case) and I love it. I've backed up everything on my computer about 4 times, using the external device. Then I backed up my recent stuff on both external hard drives. Very easy to use. Basically plug it in and drag the documents onto the F drive.<BR/><BR/>I use Google docs and love them for sharing and storing. The great thing too is now Google mail has unlimited storage, so you can store and organize right there. <BR/><BR/>I lost all my saved files on Earthlink mail when my computer went down. I didn't realized they weren't stored online. I lost all my favorites too.

I'm glad you are okay. That tornado business is scary stuff! Having lived in California most of my life, I've never seen one (thank goodness), and hope I never do... except for the movies. ;o)<BR/><BR/>Email is great backup. Another good freebie is Google Docs. If you have a Google account, you can upload any documents (.doc etc.) and excel spreadsheets to Google Docs, where they'll stay until you delete them. You can choose who to share them with -- in case you're working on a collaborative project -- or, you can keep them private (the default option).<BR/><BR/>Thanks Kesha for the awesome advice. =o)<BR/><BR/>Stay safe ~<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/><BR/>AngAngelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05446972697676493883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33612293.post-39967084921835196322008-03-19T11:37:00.000-07:002008-03-19T11:37:00.000-07:00Kesha, that is really scary about the tornados. I'm glad to hear that you're ok. <BR/><BR/>I appreciate the idea about e-mail storage. I hadn't thought about e-mailing finished docs to save them elsewhere. <BR/><BR/>For Christmas, we were given a portable hard drive by Maxtor called the OneTouch4 Mini, but I stil haven't used it! Their tag line is "Save Your Life." <BR/><BR/>It's supposed to save everything on your hard drive so you can recover it all in the event of a system failure or virus. I really need to take out the instructions and do it!MPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00303375584867596482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33612293.post-20720559858238005242008-03-19T10:04:00.000-07:002008-03-19T10:04:00.000-07:00I never even thought about e-mail storage. Thanks for the tip!<BR/><BR/>Glad you made it through the tornados unscathed.delhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09317586327457448132noreply@blogger.com
