No, not all the credit - I did accuse you of stealing it from a web site ... what more credit do you want? ;)))

I kept all my quotes in my Signature's file of Outlook. Outlook for WHATEVER reason took a dump on me. I lost all my signature's and quotes. *GROAN* I like the 35 list thingey!!!!

Well all the ones you "stole" from me will still be in back journal entries - you may have to go to calendar view to get the older ones though. Personally I save stuff like that as a notepad file 'cos I can cut and paste to build it up.

peace

I know...dang I hate when I have been ignorant of keeping things safe. Have a good day, Peter hope things are loosening up a bit for you. Life...it can be a challenge!

system backups? ... no I didn't say anything :) On my work laptop there is a CD writer so I can keep an up to date backup of all my work - actually I copy the latest version of development work to a server most evenings to keep it secure.

You only have to lose a few days development once to et a bit paranoid about it :)

take care (hugs)
