Got Something You Want To Say?

EEP! That would totally suck!

I take pretty good care of my cds. I have them in CD binders instead of spindles, so they can have their own space. I've filled about two binders now.

But even with these there is risk. Poo.

Eeek, I hate it when that happens. Totally horrible. I remember when the hard drive on my old computer crashed. Back then, didn't bother burning stuff off the computer so I lost everything. I wanted to cry.

LOL :) I don't think there's any totally foolproof method. I usually make a DVD out of dramas too, so I can watch them on my TV (my preference anyhow)

That's why you use good DVD media like Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim.

I do the same thing... beside that I can borrow it to my friends.

Seriously? That didn't take long. I just tend to back up everything to CD or DVD - I have about 7 spindles of 50 each worth of stuff :shocked:

If you need the bottom disc from the spindle quite a job. Or to find something in the middle...whew... :doh:

All my burned DVDs are in 120 t0 240 capacity wallets. And I even have index markers so I can got to any group I need. And I have the indexes on an index data base on my computer with the wallet number they are in. I have 5 wallets now and growing. So elapsed time to go to any single drama is less than a minute assuming I don't have to boot up.

:victory: :victory: :victory:

No kidding!! I always burn a backup set of my own to make sure. :thumbsup:

@dougfunnie- Hi there :D

I dunno how to do this, so I just burn them as data files and watch them on my compy, which works just as well cause we never have a free TV set here. :pout:

That's the one I'm using right now. I haven't had a single dud! :thumbsup:

Looks like uploading for me is a lost cause. :puppydog:

Just be glad you didn't decide to do your taxes online at the last minute. I just KNOW I'm going to get one of those calls tomorrow. (Do I have any sick time left?) [/list:u]

>>exhausted<<

Same with me... I watch all my movies with my computer.
Still saving some money to buy DIVX player, so I can play all my AVI movies on the TV... :dancing:

Goverment!! Please lower the gas price..!! :puppydog:

DVD players for DIVX are about $60 these days. Maybe carpooling for a few weeks? :beaten:

:angry: Why do people kill? Gosh! They end up dead anyway. Why is it even necessary to kill innocent people?

and it's usually followed by a few copy cats. We had one of those last year. :shamefulcry:

In Canada? Oh you're referring to the Dawson College shooting. That was sad. :shakehead:

Do you guys have the same kind of gun laws in Canada as we do or are they more strict?

Definitely tougher. You can't buy an automatic weapon are I think you can no longer buy a handgun. You also need an hunting card to buy ammo. I have it, but I feel bad cutting a dead fish when it's looking back at me, so I'm not going to shoot an happy bunny. :sweat:

I don't know if the regulations are working or not, since during the last one the guy had all his weapons registered and the street gangs, bikers and mafia and still shooting each others. You can always buy one on the black market... =T

Yup. I am usually in that area, but on that day I was on the other side of town. It took a few weeks for everything to go back to normal, but every time a weird guy is wearing a trench coat, people gets nervous.
