I'm not paranoid

Just cautious.

Got some software, and am in the process of making a disc image of my OS partition, including the 'hidden' files, and the partitioned off OS recovery. I have already exported the matching registry to go with it. I know that sooner or later, probably due to lack of space, this machine will need a new hard drive.

Well, that's done

Have made two back ups of the OS partition, saved on different drives, and have made new copies of the "Recovery Discs". Each set will be stored in a safe place. Not so safe that I can't find them. That level of 'safe' is something Aikidomayland does.

Had a nice visit by Delicious Irony. She will be by again tomorrow, and I will tweak the setting on her netbook to improve performance.

Nerds Rule!
