Back Up Your Data NOW!!!

I've said it to myself the last few weekends. I really should back up my external hard drive to DVD. Of course I haven't and of course the hard drive has now died. With a bit of luck I should be able to recover the data, but it is going to cost me an arm and a leg. So, if you have any significant amount of data (I've lost about 4 years of research, 40 Gb of info), then back it up NOW. You have been told!!

So updates will probably be plain for a while since lots of my images are now inaccessible.
