Having lost all my episodes following a hard drive crash and it being the only folder I hadn't backed up ------------ --- This is just a gentle reminder to all of you that your hard drive WILL crash -- not IF -- and you really need to take a good look at what you have collected, and ask yourself: is there anything that I would miss should I lose it all?  Can I bear to be without anything here?  The same sort of thing you ask when you look about your house -- would I miss anything should the house burn down? Please make back-up copies of anything important.  Disks are so cheap now, there is no excuse not to do this.  You may want to re-organize your files, or share with a friend -- or need to restore a crashed drive, or install to a new one -- but it doesn't take much time to copy to disk, and is so very simple. This is a hard lesson for us to learn.  Those that have had the heartbreak want to spare you that pain.  Make a back-up copy of all important files!  Please.
