    HELP!

    I have been using USB external drives -- I've had my problems with them too. These docking stations look really interesting. Have to give them a try.

    HELP!

    I think most responders are missing the point that these files span multi computers and drives. This fact requires the combining of ALL FILES onto ONE DRIVE! Be it flash drive zip drive or another moveable drive. Combined file size will dictate the external drive size required. Comparison of files requires they all be on the same drive -- or at least on the same computer. The Zip drive you mention IS the answer to your current problem, All files need to be in one place -- only! -- ESPECIALLY when changing files such as your story files.

    HELP!

    Camy -- I'm thinking you really do have a major problem. What with files on multi drives and computers I'm not very hopeful that any software will help. I think the only way to correct this is to get all files onto ONE 'EXTERNAL/ZIP' hard drive. During this process any true duplicate files will be flagged and NOT moved to the external drive (this will require your best judgement ~~ if a file is questionable - rename that file and save it to the external drive. Once they are ALL on the external drive then at least the true duplicates are handled. Once this is done you will need to go file by file based on title search and date/time search to come up with the latest file time stamp on the external drive. A lot of work -- YES. But the only way as I see it. In the future NEVER save a 'multi use file' to anything but your 'EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE'. That way the latest file is ALWAYS on the external. Zip drives are similar to external drives in that they are both movable - as in take your work with you. It's the ONLY way to avoid duplicate files all over the place. You must also do a backup of the external hard drive on a REGULAR basis. Just in case!!! You will be most unhappy if you don't -- shit happens!!!
  8. It's really great to see you back Eggman. I was saddened when you folded up camp and disappeared. I still have your story files in a 'hold' directory and look forward to reactivating them.
  9. Don't you just love computers -- sometimes I would just love to cut the power cord!
  10. Treb did in fact send me Ch 20 and I do so much appreciate his effort. I have no idea what might have happened with my post disappearing before. I didn't check for new mail 'til this morning. Thanks again Treb
  11. So I went and downloaded ch 1 - 19 from 'way back' and am only an hour or so from finishing ch 19. I am already going into withdrawal lacking the final chapter! Does anybody have a copy? I wrote John yesterday, but no response yet.
  12. I concur! This is a beautiful story -- as can only be done in keeping with Cole Parker's history of well written stories!
  13. I have only read the first 30 lines of this story and really enjoyed the story to that point. Bookmarked for a return visit.
  14. They have no sense of talent -- that kid has an awesome voice and talent!
  15. Spot on Des -- they just love to go with the flow. I am amazed that a person engaged with his professed leanings would even attempt an excursion with a web rentboy --- which head was he thinking with??? And he does foster care too? And adopts a 16 year old boy? Totally unbelievable!
  16. I agree with Dude, I have only gotten to ch 7 yesterday and was pleased to see part ll appear today.
  17. And that is why I said goodbye to m$m when XP ended. Linux is sooooo much better!

  19. Younger adults these days seem to be much more tolerant and understanding. Those students 8 through 12 still seem to have some students that thrive at being bullies. It seems to be peer want-to-be butt heads conflicting with the reasonable mass of students. By the time college comes everybody seems to snap out of it. Teaching tolerance and understanding needs to start during their first year of school (k-12) and school administrations need to have a zero tolerance of bully mentality. These things should NOT be happening!! PERIOD!!!
  20. I agree Camy!! It's just shameful. I have to have one every week - homemade of course. A white pizza (pesto with olive oil and fresh garlic) thin sliced tomatoes, mushrooms and artichokes topped with GOOD italian cheeses --- YUM!
  21. This issue also happened a year or so ago but don't remember what the cure was
