I herby decree: National Backup Day.

Moonliner · 10-21-2006, 10:23 AM

I hereby decree today (well this weekend if you like) to be National Back Up Your Data day.

I'm updating all my drive images and burning DVD's with all my photos and movies that are not already backup. Remember, the data you save might be your own, friends don't let friends compute while not backed up, and data doesn't kill data, people do.

Have a nice day.

Since my iPod just died and I'm really not sure what I do and don't have backed up, I recommend this as well.

Thanks for the reminder - I was just thinking I needed to do this.

In 25 years of computing, I have never once backed up a computer.

So far I haven't suffered for it and have saved much time. Stick it to the many by leaving your data and restorable.

Wait a moment, I was just getting ready to decree that myself! Indeed, the paperwork is my hands! I was only waiting on the trumpeters! And those trumpet guys are union -- they charge whether they play or not. Why must I always be so late with my decrees? Anyway, I think I have another decree here somplace ---

Here we go ...

I hereby decree it National Nougat Day. Enjoy nougat and be plentiful. Enjoy! I so decree it!

Nougat rocks, especially when it's rich and creamy, and wrapped in silky smooth dark chocolate.

Frankly, Tref's National Day tastes better than Moon's.

That's kind of an odd nickname - "National Day"

Although far less silly than "Trouser Trout"

Perhaps we need to merge them.
