It’s great being blonde - with such low expectations<br />

it’s easy to impress. --Pamela Anderson<br />

There are many ways of preventing this problem today. Removable storage devices that can be taken home,<br />

stored in another location, or even on a key ring are all available at a minimal cost today.<br />

Then of course there is the “cloud” which can be used for many practical data storage uses. Free mail programs<br />

such as Hotmail, “Yahoo, and Gmail offer data storage capability up to 1GB. While this may not be enough for a<br />

large business database and payroll, it is usually more than adequate for a small business, organisation or club.<br />

For business data, just e-mail your accounting program tables up to an address you have created each night<br />

before you go home. Copy all your e-mail and contact lists up there also. Create a simple spreadsheet which<br />

tracks your business activity for the day and send this off as an e-mail to your “cloud” address. You can log in and<br />

delete back copies every week, month or year to keep within your 1GB limit. You can even download this data and<br />

archive it onto a DVD or similar device for long term storage.<br />

For clubs and organisations, create a club e-mail address on one of these free service providers sites, and insist<br />

that your secretary uses this for all inward and outwards correspondence rather than their private e-mail address.<br />

That way if the person resigns or dies, or their home computer is destroyed or lost, you still have all your club data<br />

intact. If you are an active club or organisation and need more than 1GB of data storage, you can “buy” larger<br />

cloud storage capability for a few dollars each month.<br />

If you are not sure of how to do this, or want more information contact the Editor at FL Computers in <strong>Dargaville</strong>.<br />

A Computer Joke<br />

As we Silver Surfers know, sometimes we have trouble with our computers. My wife Gay had a problem yesterday<br />

and I was out somewhere, so she called Eric, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control<br />

and asked him to come over. Eric clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.<br />
