6. Good Advice to Ponder! and about the "Flash Drives"

Thu Dec 4, 2014, 09:07 PM

Dec 2014

I started doing that with my "Notebook" I'm posting on....because I almost had a Virus Crash with it....and managed to "Back Up" to a Flash Drive.

I have so much on my XP Computer through years, though,....was My Worry. Not so much on the Notebook...that's I might want to save but have backed up to the "Flash."

I think this crash of my HP has taught me a lesson...and, thinking I will be much more careful in the Future ......if and when I can get it resolved.

Thanks for you info!
