Go up one level in this thread


Sorry to hear about your program.  :(
With Neurosis I'm a bit paranoid about that. (...) And I keep copies of the
source on floppy-disks, cd-roms, email-box (incase the entire house catches
fire) , and I print the entire program once a month or so..  :)
Congratulations with your daughter!
