PC pifall

[Leslie Bartlett]

There's always backup of data to a PC of some sort....   Then there's the
maintaining skills enough that one could tune aurally.......    I find a
BOOK- paper stuff is safer, almost faster, and I have records of tunings
going back years. I think technology has its place, but a "rather old"
programmer friend is a strong advocate for using the old fashioned
dependable paper methods when they can be as fast and virtualy efficient as
technology..................  JMO

Here is a tip that may save you $100 some day.

  For 5 years I have been spoil ed by a Pocket PC. 
I do put it away from time to time for an Aural day.
  It died; dead! Even docked in its port...nothing. 
I was on route to a new client when I realized it was gone. There was
delayed reaction; first feeling satisfaction that I would pull out the fork
have an aural tuning. Upon arriving at the street I realized the address was
in outlook on the PC. No address, no phone, nobody in  the office to reach.

   30 min back home, I called, apologized and re-booked. $100 spot lost. 

    How many carry a hard copy?
    I think from now on I will fill out the top of my bills in the morning.
90% of my clients are long time regulars and I only need to check an address
a few times a week. PPC would leave me on a new client call.

   How many others are fully dependant on technology?
How many have redundancy built into their habits so this does not happen to
you? 
 
   This lesson cost me today. 

                                Cheers
                                Dave Renaud
