Well the third shoe dropped last night. Travis knocked Leah’s laptop off the couch. I now know, unfortunately, what a "Kernal Panic" is. Alas it means some hardware problem, and my notes and draft of my book were on it. Hopefully a repair person at the least will be able to recover the data.
So these things come in threes do they Duncan?

Bet there was a little “Clare Panic” as well! I hope you have your notes in hard copy or at least some backed up on disks. These days, I’ve taken to backing up my nature photos twice. Once on an external drive, and then also on CDs or DVDs that I store elsewhere in case of something catastrophic like a house fire.
Hells bells, I hope I didn’t put the moz on you Clare. Surely the hard drive will be OK, may be just a component needs re-seating, fingers crossed for you.
Oh nooooo! I’m extraordinarily paranoid about backing up my work. I copy it to my flash drive, email to my Hotmail account AND to my husband at work.
I will think good thoughts for you.
Yes Bev,
a whole lot of “Clare panic”. I know “back up back up back up”. One of these days I’ll get it.
No worries Duncan. And I’m actually a lot calmer now, thinking it probably is just something that can be re-seated. If only I could lay my hands on a jeweler’s phillips screwdriver.
Thanks Anita. I’ll get this back up thing eventually. I’m the guy that Apple is making the automatic back up part of their new OS for.
