My computer is still agonizing
on a hospital bed at Dr
B.'s laptop clinic. A disk failure has been diagnosed (although running
ScanDisk via
DOS surprisingly detects
no problems), and I have therefore started copying content I want to keep on
to floppy disks, by chunks of 1.44MB at a time.
All I am keeping is photos taken between 29th January (the last time I backed
up the entire content) and 27th April (when I got a new
camera and started downloading pictures on Dr B.'s desktop computer) of
this year.
I sadly cannot keep any files that cannot fit on a floppy disk but it does not matter too much, as it mostly concerns MP3 files that I can download again anytime rip from my legally bought CDs again anytime.
I am glad to report that my cherished system of cross-referenced Excel spreadsheets that monitor my expenses, finances, bank accounts, loans, weight fluctuation and workout routine is safe and sound in triple copy on different machines (I would invest in Micro$oft Money if only it calculated body mass index).
Anally retentive? moi?
