Default T-4.... Backup time!

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
