Note to Grandparents

The girls' computer is down, and so they are not receiving e-mail. We will let you know when it is up again. Hard disk failure. I swear, we have the worst luck with hard disks. This one was all of six weeks old.

Our solution (of sorts) was to buy a big harddrive (320mb) and put it on our network so that we can backup all our computers to it. That was $200 well spent ($100 for the drive, $100 for the NAS kit thingie to put the drive in so it could be on our network and such stuff).

'Course if something crashes, there will still be a hassle restoring things and getting a new drive if need be, etc. We've been lucky so far (knock wood).
