Actually, I hope it makes everyone run a test of their backup system. There was a fellow writer who a couple of months ago had a request from an agent and who had a disk failure then could not find the thumbdrive the manuscript was backed up on. Total loss. I am in love with my multiple computer/sync/backups. Clearly my system works! LOL.. Gotcha! Actually, I hope it makes everyone run a test of their backup system.

They've only just released in New Zealand (three days ago) and I've already visited a store to have a little play. LOL – I’m lusting after an iPad even though I have other gadgets.

Not so out here. We finally did get it all sorted, but it was hugely painful and we're not getting the 18MB that we were promised from Uverse. The highest I've seen it is 16.

Then afterwards, he calls to make sure it is to your satisfaction..nothing like small town America! The way it should be!
