  14. I back up my data every day - Microsoft's Sync Toy utility makes it quick and easy. I backup by making HD clones at least twice a week plus another backup either before Microsoft installs an update, when I add any app to my HD, or if I've done a lot of critical work. This has saved me a few times. Example: I bought a guitar pedal, and it came with a free Cubase LE CD-ROM. I hadn't tried Cubase in years, so I thought I'd give it a go. I made a clone and started the Cubase install. It quit in the middle of the installation. I rebooted the computer, and it wouldn't complete the reboot asking me if I want to finish the installation. I said YES, and it locked up in the same place. I booted in the Safe Mode and tried to uninstall Cubase, but the next time I restarted I got the same message. So I did a complete restore from the clone, trashed the CD-ROM, and went about my business as if nothing happened but that little adventure. In addition to my normal backups, on a second external drive that gets removed from the system, I make a disk clone once per month and store many months of clones. That way if I get a virus or ransomware I can go back to a pre-infected state. Computers are replaceable, data is often not. Insights and incites by Notes
  15. I believe the Wrecking Crew played the instruments on this cut because the Dead's live cuts aren't the same. It's my favorite Dead song. Casey Jones - Grateful Dead
