One was a power outage the cause of which will remain unspoken.  The other was an OS error from where I was copying something off for someone and it hit an error and was waiting for a response.  Unfortunately it stopped everything not just the file copy.  :-/  But it has been suggested a backup recording method for next year. RE: Videos from PhreakNIC 7 Online  |
