I have one, and I put all my files on it, rather than on the desktop or the laptop.<br /><br />With the external hard drive, you can plug it into either your desktop or your laptop (or your son's computer) and have all your data to use.Karen Packard Rhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641711434283636830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-45971023750030637282009-11-24T21:20:11.668-06:002009-11-24T21:20:11.668-06:00Amy - I know exactly how you feel because the same...Amy - I know exactly how you feel because the same thing happened to me just two weeks ago. But now that I have my new computer, I am in the process of making it all genealogy friendly (a fun project I might add).<br /><br />While it is a bit of a pain to put all of my backed up files on my new computer, I am grateful that I have back ups of everything and that all was not lost.<br /><br />Plus, I get to play with my new tech toy and the new boost of technology makes me feel like a kid in a candy store!Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15483136317329166274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-74944468174625647532009-11-24T20:22:02.374-06:002009-11-24T20:22:02.374-06:00Electronics... gotta love 'em...

If not, didn't you just post an article about your wish list for Christmas? Is that on it, nope I just checked. Better add that.
