back it up
the other day, i thought my pc crashed. i booted as normal, but it would get stuck and sound off an annoying alarm and never get to the windows welcome page. instead it showed me a page explaining the error in german (yes, my pc is as language-confused as i am), and i vaguely understood that it had something to do with the keyboard. the keyboard that has been a p.i.t.a. for the last several months. oh well, stuck keys are what you eventually get when you habitually eat your breakfast (and sometimes lunch, too) while surfing.
well, i’m not that important a person, and if i lose all data in my pc, the only stuff i would really be sad to lose are the photos i’ve taken and downloaded to the hard disk since we moved here. so the first thing i did when the keyboard would cooperate again was to make a batch file of all the pics we’ve taken for the last 10 months and transfer this back-up to an external drive. now, i’m cool. this pc can crash for all i care.
if your pc or laptop crashes right now and you lose everything in your hard disk, how grave would it be for you?

hehe so far, we’ve been good and have been backing our files up because of constant moving around. kaya kung sakali at mag-crash ang pc namin, i believe it won’t be big deal for me either. thank God for those external hard drives!
