Just make sure that your Turbo Encabulator has a sufficiently strong differential girdle spring, or you might end up with a loose dingle arm, and a failed moxie interrupter. That could lead to sinusoidal depleneration. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Is it not interesting how people who would never expect anyone to be able use even a mildly complex camera effectively without at least some level of understanding of how its system works will nevertheless expect to use a computer and its operating system without bothering with acquiring the slightest level of either expertise or even understanding.

A Reply to Dumb RichA OT Stuff
Tony Cooper:
I sometimes wonder about you, Duck. You have a top-of-the-line Mac, no appreciable chance of a virus, and sixty-two back-up systems. Are you expecting an earthquake during a tsunami followed by a meteorite shower? In the course of which a runaway petrol truck would trigger a massive fire. -- I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that you will say in your entire life. usenet *at* davidillig dawt cawm |

You people have a weird belief in the reliability of cloud or solid state memory. either of those is *significantly* more reliable than a cd/dvd, which are among the least reliable of any storage media. No. I have tons. I re-write after 5 - 6 years, but I've kept some "test" DVD's that are readable after over 10 years. Storage conditions (cool, dry, dark) are essential. No parts to fail either. Readers are cheap and will be available (even if used) for a very long time. A cloud account could go poof and SSM could fail electronically. Even a CD/DVD with some bad areas will be readable in most other areas. -- "2/3 of Donald Trump's wives were immigrants.
