I also had all my photo's backed up on an external drive. I now have three hard drives with the opperating system backed up on one of them and, all my files backed up on them. It took me five weeks to sort it all out. But I am back to anoy everyone. Good luck Roy, Hope to see you here soon. |

Just joking Roy, but hey I guess it doesn't matter and we can say what we like about you now because you can't see any of it can you? On a serious note, its happened to me three times! Luckily I have a contact who gets me out of the tacky stuff. See you soon Roy! |

I'm glad to hear you backed up all your pictures and important things. I am lax at that, and I have paid the price. I hope they hurry along at the computer hospital, as you are going to be missed. |

I am glad to say that i am back, i have read all of your kind comments that you have attached to my original e-mail and i really do thank you for them. Yes, Ron, even yours. Thanks to POE for their good offices in publishing my e-mail. It turns out that the problem with my computer was software based, and not the hardware as i at first thought. the computer is less than six months old. The tech lads who looked at it, they looked about 15 years old, have not fully sorted things out. It could be something to do with the new down load that was recently installed in Vista. They are not really certain. Anyway, i’m back and hope to be submitting more pictures straightway. I have been looking for a photograph of a certain bird that i took a while back that i think our birding friend might find interesting. Anyway its about time that i dedicated a picture to you Sue. It will be on my Herrington gallery very soon. I will now have a look round the forums to see what else has been happening to all my good friends here. Again, thank you for your kind remarks. Regards Roy J. |

Did you hear that I have my new camera, and right now I'm going through the instruction book very slowly. I'm hoping the DVD will come soon, as I learn much better from being shown than I do from reading a book. Looking forward to more of your wonderful pictures. |

I was up to my neck over the weekend and didn't get to it, and Mondays are always busy. I should get some time to myself on Wednesday, and I need to work on it, as I'm off to the Oregon Coast the following week, and need to have my camera for that. |
