[Hidden-tech] Thanks for input - why HT is great!

[A - Z International]

Hi all,

Guess I hit a nerve today with the issue of my daughter losing her first 
completed novella and then wondering how to protect myself in a program 
(Word) that has a function that seems to have no purpose whatsoever except 
to eat files. Thanks to everyone who responded. I've passed along your 
thoughts/advice to my computer folks at Amherst Computer Works and we're a) 
working on retrieving the file, and b) setting up a better automatic backup 
system for my PC and laptop.

By the by, as a writer (50 percent of the time) I incessantly print out 
everything. As Shel and others noted, there's nothing like killing whole 
book chapters. It's an awful lot easier to scan content back then rewrite. 
But with your input, I probably won't be doing that much scanning.

Which leads me back to what is so great about Hidden-Tech -- that YOU ARE 
ALL THERE to call upon in an hour of need.

And for that reason, I urge you all to consider attending our May 16 sales 
program/fundraiser. The $75 minimum fee is a deductible business expense 
and the knowledge you'll gain will be invaluable. We only have 30 places 
and about a third of the seats are already taken. If there's enough demand, 
we'll consider running a second program if Sheldon Snodgrass can handle it. 
See all the details at www.hidden-tech.net under EVENTS.

best,
