Default T-4.... Backup time!

Hi Puss........I have missed you......and still haven't got back to the
Maritimes. We were going to go this summer, but illness got in the way.

I chatted just recently with the Loon and he broke his ankle, if memory
serves me right. Probably fell off his tricycle (they don't let OLD people
ride motorcycles, lol). I will perhaps fire off an email tomorrow and tell
him we need his taglines........grin.

We should keep in touch......is that address a good one?? Noel, Mike and
Joanie have my real one, so they could give it to you.

Kisses and hugs backatcha, old sock......Figgs

Bye, Heather... and all the others. Well, Figgs, I guess they thought we
were going to live too long for them to bear with us so they decided to
kill us! As a Maritimer all I can say now is that I think that I would
appreciate a final Texas gem from Heirloom!

Kisses and hugs, figgy...

Wellllll......shall we use Majik's OE backup? I back all my stuff up to
ClickFree, an external drive sorta with it's own self-activating proggie.
However, when my HD was dying and I restored everything to the new one, I
had NO bloody OE emails or subfolders.

To the rescue came the *handsome MVP* called PA Bear on his dashing white
charger, (gag) and he told me how to laboriously restore everything. It
seems for some reason ClickFree didn't back up Folders.dbx which rendered
everything useless. So if needs be, I do have his instructions somewhere
on this machine.

I am not 100% sure what you are warning us about, Furball. I assume that
MS in its infinite wisdom is no longer supporting these news groups. So
we are going to lose our favourite corner to chit chat in. Damn them all
to Hell!!!! (vbg)

Ladies and Gents.
Depending on how MS cut us off, and the NNTP client you use, you may
suddenly find that you have NO newsgroups in your reader when it
happens.
So now would be a good time to back up your message store if you want to
keep the priceless gems you've garnered over the last
however-long-it-is-since-you-first-joined-the-groups if you've kept them
in your current store.
So dig out the manuals and read how to do that

Just a little heads-up
