Backup, Backup & Backup Some More

  » Computers & Internet


Just about a year ago today, I lost my hard drive on my main office computer. And insufficient backup. Man, was that painful. Now I use Carbonite on all my computers, the cost is worth it for the ability to sleep at night. Other advantages as well.

If you use a computer, you absolutely, positively MUST have a backup system in place - NOW! If the “ones and zeros” that make up your life disappear. . . it will be as if you never existed. Backup to an external drive and backup remotely.

Top Free Productivity Tools

One of my favorite free computer tools is NotePad++ -- a fantastic text editor. It uses tabs and allows you to manipulate text and create macros. NotePad++ is indispensable if you work a lot with text. http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm
