I was formating HDD and forgot to burn CD with favorites/bookmarks. I feel like part of me died

I had so many links

Well MC I think you can find many of those links on this forum as you have posted a great deal of links on this forum

I was talking about porn links

Just kidding, just kidding!!!

I've posted perhaps 5% of the F1/racing links I had. I had a lot of computer problem solving, software/driver's etc links and lots of misc links.

My heart goes

out to you, manchild ... one doesn't tend to remember the links, since they're there so you don't have to! Believe me, I've experienced this, too ... my favorite solutions:

a) buy an external HD with plenty of GB, copy the essentials there daily or weekly.

b) use an online bookmarking service, there are plenty out there like
http://del.icio.us/
http://www.mybookmarks.com/

Get Linux, Its works, But loads of stuff does not work with it.

I dont think Photoshop coral, 3d max, Flash, dreamweaver and other stuff work on linux. I maybe wrong

Thanks guys. I have most of the files backed up on CD-s but I thought I've backed up bookmarks and I didn't...

Anyway, perhaps it is better this way since it was too much of them and they were poorly organized.

I think it's a sign to spend some more time off the computer.

Bummer manchild, that's rough. Many years ago I had a nasty virus and it pooched my hard drive, and I also lost everything on it. It hurts.

Not in that names, but there are plenty of programs, doing the same thing with them.

About 1 month ago my HD decided to die on me. What hurt the most was the Mclaren Documentary ' Chashing the Dream' which I had to download from You tube since we didn't get it broadcasted here in Mexico.

Now the documentary is gone from you tube and gone from my HD =(.

I also lost one of Marlboro's coolest TV ads I've seen featuring Senna making a pit stop in slow motion in the MP4-6 and then replaying the pit stop in regular speed. It was awesome!! too bad it is gone from yout tube also

Don't think of it as the end MC, but as a new beginning.

I lost alot of stuff when my old PC went bang, but I found all the stuff I really needed again and don't miss any of it.
