So a few weeks ago, my desktop flashed me the blue screen of death.  I did a reset and sort of got it back but not really because suddenly weird things were happening, although VISTA had loaded and was working.  ISH.  Anyway, beyond my pay grade so I took it into Staples which is pretty much our only resourse as far as tech support goes given where

Yeeesh! That's dues and then some. They should upgrade you to first class!

Travel safe and have a wonderful time! We promise not to TP the internets while you're gone.

I am sending you the good travel vibes. Not the other ones, those discount ones I use for myself. These are the really good ones.

*gets viby for you*

ooh. You actually /said/ that you expected things to go well. Tsk. Tempting fate. Still, I hope they did and that your shoes are comfy and your seat mate was a personable yet delightfully geeky polymath who mostly slept quietly.
Enjoy the chocolate and bier.

Have a wonderful trip. Enjoy RingCon.

And I know you said to not tell you, but this is something you need to know. When you have your computer working, go to Start > control Panel > Mail and from the new window, select DATA FILES

Click on the default mailbox file and select "Settings" Note the file location and go to it. Copy it to your external hard drive. You now have a backup of your email files.

If you ever need to restore it, just copy it back to the same location - although I point Outlook to look for mine on the external drive.

Or, visit http://www.backsettings.com and buy a copy of BackRex Outlook Backup. It's worth the price and can be set to run on a schedule.

Now about those bookmarks - every browser has the ability to export your bookmarks to a file, do that and you then have all of your bookmarks backed up as well.

Don't hurt me, I'm just the messenger.
