Back that thang up!

 For those of you who don't think it's necessary to back up your computer files, or even just think, 'Oh I'll do it later' or 'oh even if my computer starts to act quirky I'll be able to save everything before it's too late.'  THINK AGAIN!  I implore you. It's really not so hard to upload all of your photos onto a sharing sight like flickr, photobucket or even facebook. Most of us have ipods to back up our music. That leaves text files like resumes and bad poetry that we're too shy to post on our blogs and those can all go on discs. 

 I am blogging to you from an empty computer right now. I lost six years of digital photos, mp3 downloads (many of which were purchased) and all of my resumes. Not to mention my borrowed copy of word.  (Anyone have an extra copy for me so I can rewrite those lost resumes?) 

 I'm not gonna lie...it totally sucks! So consider this a public service blog on the dangers of not backing up your files. Backitup backitup backitup now! Go, do it. You'll be glad you did. I sure wish I had.

Apparently the same thing happened to Bone-Thugs-and-Harmony once. They also implore you to "Back that thang up!"
