BACK IT UP!!!

... and yes, I am screaming this or at least speaking in a very stern voice...

Some years back I had a brand spank'n new computer seize up on me only a couple of months out of the box.  I was able to ship it back to the factory and had it returned to me in tip-top shape, but I lost all the data - including my pictures.  Luckily all of my older photos were backed up on discs, but I lost everything I had taken for those 2 or 3 months.

(For those of you wondering... Yes, I would rather have a Mac but it's just
not in the budget.  Plus my newer HP is performing like a champ!)

Lesson learned.  Since that time I never clear my camera card until I have my images downloaded in 2 places.  After deleting the obvious 'flubs', I download to my computer and only after I pull those same files over to my external hard drive, do I format my SD card.

Don't say I didn't warn you!
