Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for November 14, 2021

Not helping, Baldo.

To err is human. To really @%$& things up requires a computer.

Did you save your work as you went along otherwise try restore

5 years worth of work and it will only take 12 days to manually re-enter the data? He doesn’t use his ’puter much.

Three words, Sergio: Off. Site Backups.

Having started at 9 with typewriters and then taking a computer class in HS Iearned very quickly the differences and I typed 65 to 70 wpm so was fast and accurate. I got a A+ in the class.

I’m still waiting for the paperless society we were promised at the beginning of the home PC age.

5 backup drives, count ‘em, FIVE!! Don’t get why people don’t backup important stuff. People have tons of stuff on their phones and NO backup. Scary.

I’m guessing that he’s using quicken and opted not to subscribe and can’t get back into his old program

I always download my vital data and important documents on dongles and do an external backup on one, at least once a year, just in case.

As I told my computer class every session – “Backup! Backup! Backup!”

Somebody teach him abut backing things up.

He needs to use one of those online storage accounts like Dropbox, OneDrive, GoogleDrive, or even a NAS (Network Accessible Storage) drive. Sorry, the techie in me is coming out. :-)

save early and save often….smh

So somewhere he has all his data — whatever it is — in another form, say on paper?

Yep, if he doesn’t know how to make backups after all these years, he should just give up using a computer for anything important.

Remember, Jesus saves!

Rather strange backdrops behind Sergio today.

Backup is a life saver, from a former LEO.

Autosave is a wonderful thing. My image file always had it turned on for every 3 minutes for every computer the dept had.

Saved their bacon more than once.

This is why you need to make backups - a lesson most of us end up learning over and over again. ;)

Which is why I have file cabinets with compartmentalized paper files and yearly spreadsheets,. I will be O.K. during a power failure.

Manual is the keyword here. I have my grandfather’s Royal.
