<div class="IPBDescription">and his addendums</div> yah, so my mom just informed my of our own family addendum to Murphy's law.

The computer will always fail on the day/night that the project is due.

Thanks for telling me now!
[RANT]
I have 3 5 page papers due tonight (preferibly before 5 PM) and I am on the last one.
So I go down to make lunch and I come back up to the fact that my comp had rebooted (me: HUH?!?! wth I hope word saved my work, whew, it had).
So while I am in the bathroom I start thinking that mabey I DO have a virus on my comp and I had better back up all my files (I also knowticed that the bathroom lights were dimm, I figgured one of them had blown)
Come back to my comp and it had rebooted, AGAIN! I start up word and it reboots, AGAIN! This is the point where it will get to the login scrn for windows and cycle <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->, great fun

Also all of the cordless phones in the house (save one I forgot to try) didn't work b/c there was freakin BROWN OUT!
all my neighbors are out, I finaly find the one working phone and call my dad (who lives up the block) and yah, he is hit with it also...

great.

fortunatly the power is sorta back
it was at 80 volts now it is in the 90's (note it should be at 110). OS my comp is working and I am constantly backing up my files to my floppy

what is the moral of this story?


FLOPPYS ARE STILL GOOD!


[/RANT]

ok, I am done now, feel free to ignore <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    but USB flash ram blocks and CD-r's are more expensive, but have better loading time and space.

    CD-RW >> Floppy


    I never could backup all my mod files on floppies lol...

    Let's take the source code for example... (uncompiled files only)
    client: 1 MB
    server: 2.97 MB
    particles editor: 452 KB

    The source code doesn't fit <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> I'd need 4 floppies only for that. Perhaps I could make it fit with winzip (text files compress very well), but I couldn't backup OBJs...
    And imagine the problem with other files... (rmf, psd for example?) One file of this type can take several MB

    (I'm talking about coding files because that's the only thing I really need to backup)

    Conclusion: USE CD-RWs <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
