The other advantage is that it usually has the customer support email for the company.<br /><br />Second, I use Mozy for online backup. I have an external hard drive, but I never remembered to actually do the backup. Mozy just does it twice a day in the background. This has seved my bacon several times, from moving my data from a dead computer to reloading my current system after a really nasty zero-day java exploit. <br /><br />The other thing I keep is a list of all the programs I have installed. This helps avoid the time when you click on a file and forgot to install the program for it.Philo Pharynxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14785954267292226321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954394848487110923.post-87128760414911855432012-06-11T07:22:55.946-04:002012-06-11T07:22:55.946-04:00I figured out what that d port is.
