I have an 8 gig thumb drive I have everything backed up on... also on two computers and the network drive at work. Think I'm a little paranoid? lol

I only have a hand-me-down lap top that my sweetie spilled orange juice on and another hand-me-down lap top that I spilled a little wine on. What is a 8 gig thumb drive?

Thanks for the reminder I fear nothing except losing all my designs!!!!

I know we have talked about this before, but if once a month one burns all their designs to a CD and sets up all new folders to start all over again. What happens to fonts that half are on one CD and half on another. Then you have a stack of Cd's and don't know where to find a design!!! I try to print all designs out and file under categories in large notebooks. I then flip through notebooks. Yet I still have trouble finding designs on Cd's. Anyone have suggestions????

Katy, I use re-writable Cd's and DVD's, then I can just add the designs to existing files as I go. The RW's work just like a floppy, so you can edit them any time you wish. If you need more explanation, let me know, preferably by e-mail, cause I don't always go back to quesions I have read. Lotsa flowers for everyone, Marji

Thanks for the reminder sandra, it's something we should all remember to do on a regular basis. I've just bought some 8gig flash drives so I can't complain about not having enough space on them, can I! Love, hugs and flowers for all my beautiful friends.

Right, sanjoy!!! When I'm downloading something from Cute or Sick, I make a copy right away on my DVD-RW. And I'm awfully careful about any other sites, unless they're well known like OPW Mall, OESD, Janome. I guess anybody's site can be hijacked if it's not listed as "hacker safe" like OPW Mall. Sometimes it's not the site owners that are sending viruses, etc., just some "snowball-for-brains" that hijacked the site. Wish these idiots would leave us in peace to embroider. Flowers for all, Marji

Thank you everyone for your comments some made me laugh. I only reminded you because when I went to on of the embroidery links someone had suggested, a virus tried to come in with it and another one did but he was short lived and I was over due to back up so that is my next job. I looked at an external hard drive today at the shops and thought of everyone here on the cute site. I thought this must be what some of you are all using and thought that was a great idea, but I couldn't get it today, maybe later. Anyway thank you all for the flowers, I appreciate them very much.
