By Mark Firehammer, on March 10th, 2010 It has a popular sight gag in movies and television to have someone over in a window, or turn on a fan and have all the paper on someone’s desk blown all over the place. Just like in real life, your virtual desktop on your computer can be just as risky place to store your important documents.
Just today I had a client contact me urgently because all it is precious documents, and folders full of documents which he was in the habit of keeping right on his desktop we’re gone. Here’s what happened.
He was deleting items that he no longer needed and in one way or another managed to select multiple items other than the one he wanted to delete. This kind of thing happens a lot with laptop touchpads. When he pressed delete, he got rid of what he wanted but that was the moment that he . . . → Read More: Your Desktop, A Risky Place For Docs!
By Mark Firehammer, on March 5th, 2009 Okay you just spent nearly $400 on Microsoft’s office professional 2007. And you purchased the download option because who wants to wait? You have broadband access for a reason and downloading software is one of the benefits. You install the software and it’s really great, but wait, before you go any further it is time to do a very important task.
Burn the downloaded program installation files onto a CD or DVD for safekeeping. Don’t put it off to tomorrow, chances are you’ll never go back to it. Don’t believe for a second that you are immune to computer failure.
Now that you have a burned copy of that $400 investment, where are you going to put the disc? I highly recommend reaching for your standard manila envelope, put all of the software that came with your machine plus any of the software that you added to the machine in that envelope . . . → Read More: Safe keeping for Downloaded Purchased Software

Happy New Year! I’m sitting here with our cat Greyson in front of a warm wood stove reviewing all the pictures and videos of the good times Patty and I had over the holidays! Our pictures and videos and the ones we got from others are priceless mementos of those fun times! The technology that allows us to easily share our lives and experiences is remarkable!! While it’s never been easier to document our lives, it’s also never been easier to lose it all! How’s your data backup? I received 2 calls since Christmas from people desperate to recover their precious data after hard drive failure. Neither one ended with happy news because sadly there were no backups and the drives were unrecoverable. Ouch! Our lives are increasingly digitized, so it’s never been more important to have backup systems in place for preserving your valuable images and data. It’s . . . → Read More: Don’t Lose Your Precious Memories! BACKUP!
