Re: OT: How Often Do You Back Up Your Files

Even if you don't have a CD burner, you can still send backup files to some willing person for safekeeping. No system is failsafe, but the safest backups are always off site.

Re: How Many Of You

I think this is pretty much the same phenomenon as when you're working on an important paper, or anything else where you've spent a lot of time and effort on trying to solve a problem. Several times...

Re: OT: How Often Do You Back Up Your Files

You can always store some up your back-up disks at some family member's, or a neighbor's house. That will go a long way toward solving the fire/theft problem.

Re: More Mundane Map Solution

Sure. I don't care who, but I still need an e-mail address to send it to. Yours (like mine) on this system is private. Webmaster at some site?

Re: St Paddy\'s Day. Anyone doing anything?

I'm not Irish, but I am of Welsh decent, and what the heck, it's only a few miles across strait there ya know. So, I'll be spending a little while with the boys down at the Elks club over a bottle...

Re: Another complaint on v1.91

I have been keeping notes in a separate file anyway. That way if I'm inclined to keep track of player personalities, i.e. strategies, betrayals, etc, the notes survive after the game is over.

Re: OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT

Yep. There's a pretty steep learning curve to Word Perfect. It's not too bad once you get used to its ideosyncracies. After two or three years, that is. ...

Re: OT: Take A Look And Can You Explain It?
