Massive Technology Failure

If anybody reading this has emailed me within the last 14 days, I haven't received it.  After 5 years, and many, many miles, my trusty 12" Powerbook had a serious hardware failure a couple of nights ago.  Took all my email with it.  Then, when I was trying to rescue some data, the failing Powerbook took out my backup drive.  Ouch.  I seem to have a talent for finding really good technology problems...

I have normal email access now, but if you don't receive a reply from me on something sent before this weekend, please send again.

And remember, kids, back up, back up, and back up again.

May I be the first to suggest the new Macbook Air + the Time Capsule Backup Device they sell?

Best of luck! You can also choose to not delete email from the server, so you always retain a backup copy there.
