Tip of the Week

IF you use an external hard drive for backup, and you should, please remember to unplug it from your computer when you're not using it!! Otherwise, it is susceptible to power surges and crashes. I have to admit, until someone pointed that out to me, I was guilty of keeping it hooked up to my 'puter "just in case" I needed something on it; but not anymore! As soon as I'm done backing up or retrieving something from it, I unplug it and put it back in its little cubby. Trust me - it's good advice!
