Well gosh darn Harry, I guess your wasted hours on Usenet are much
better spent then mine, as well as your low transom boating hours. I
guess I'll have to step up my community service activities to the same
high standards as yours. Speaking of which, just what are your major
contributions to mankind other than prevarication, childish insults,
name calling, etc. ?

Get yourself a Windows Home Server from HP. You can back up and restore
your entire machine with virtually no operator input, and with the new
release, you can even backup your backups to removable hard drives and
store them off site. You can do a lot more with the WHS, too, which
makes it more interesting than simply using decent backup software to
backup your drives and reinstall them with a CD restore disk.



Why?


I mean, what the heck is so important about a stupid computer to do this
stuff?

Those of you that rely on a computer to store important information
deserve to get crashed ... or whatever.

With a WHS, you can back up and restore all the computers in your
household automatically, you can serve up saved movies stored on the WHS
to any computer in your household without clogging up the hard drive on
that computer, and you can also use the device as an iTunes server. There
are many other features, but those are the ones I use the most.

USB hard drives are cheap small lightweight portable and work on just about
any computer. You can keep your stuff backed up on them with Briefcase.
Tell us more about why we need this device you're hawking.

Harry's in-laws are philanthropists and he thinks you should emulate them.
Harry is working hard to eradicate pesky tree stumps; thereby improving the
quality of life for all mankind.

Since I am sure you have nothing you need to back up, the product
obviously is not for you.

Shooting up tree stumps is more productive than your hobby of trying to
ejaculate a load into this newsgroup. Maybe you need a dirty magazine,
showing a couple of your GOP buddies in the Minneapolis airport mens' room?

Now I *really* feel bad!

First I didn't have a couple hundred movies laying around, and now I see
that the I should have a WHS to back up and restore *all* the computers in
my household.

Gees, does *all* mean several, a dozen, a couple hundred? Man, I am way
behind you folks. Somehow I'm getting by with only one.

I am not even sure how many I have but I use 5 just about every day
and 3 are always on. Everything gets a network card when I build it.

1 laptop, 4 desktops in our house. *2 in my office, 1 in my wife's office

my daughters desktop they have with them.

Why would you need two computers in the same place?
