From someone whose only wisdom in this case was to listen to a friend.<\/p>\n
About a year ago my friend Michael convinced me to get an external hard drive for back up. Without that back up, when my hard drive crashed last week a major pain in the neck would have been a catastrophe, with many years’ worth of writing and research either lost or rendered very difficult to get.
