Get one of those with one button backup. Very useful in virus situations. But may still take a while to restore everything though.

Recent buyer of Acer here! *waves* OMG, I’m doomed, better get that external hard disk or thumbdrive soon.

Derek – more likely candidates are Gimli and Legolas – sad but true.

That really sucks about our laptop. If it was an Apple, I’m not surprised. Kudos for trying to read Bill Clinton’s book. Don’t drop it on your foot! It very heavy!

Lessons Learnt: always backup what you need. PCs must fail and will fail – Murphy’s Law.

Democracy cannot exist in a vacuum…the law of nature and jurisprudence must exist for a society to have certain control.

I think Sharon Bakar mentioned something about these KDN officers *looking through* the stuff you sorta import – from Amazon or wherever – and then deciding for you what you should read or what you shouldn’t. Any confirmation whether this is true is most welcome, though, coz I don’t know the facts on this.

In the meantime, I say ban Asterix & Obelix. Small man and Fat man make mincemeat of organized, civilized Romans after drinking magic potions. The fellas are pendatangs (or potential pendatangs – they’re french, heh), encourage witchcraft and instill obsessive tendencies toward menhirs.

Tintin and offensive tufts of hair are next!
