To> Hi, Don - Just dropped in to tell you I'm sorry if my computer messed
To> up your system yesterday. What hoppen was.....
To> .
To> Last week ***- Ni.Mo. -*** was working on our street. I
To> didn't pay much attention to them and went about working on "AST", my
To> computer here.
To> .
To> All of a sudden there was a power failure that only lasted a
To> fraction of a second = The lights went out, my screen went out and
To> then the lights and my screen came back on.
To> .
To> This happened three or four times before I got wise and shut
To> down.
To> .
To> The outages did not even throw "AST" off line, or cause the
To> Electric Clocks to reset to 00:00:00 - and even the V.C.R. Clock
To> stayed current !!!
To> .
To> However, as I later discovered, it payed havoc with my
To> computer, I.E., hashing F.A.T. tables and Files alike, especially it
To> ruined my "I_OMEGA ZIP DRIVE" which I was using at the time and
To> scrambled my main Hard Drive [C] !!!
To> .
To> I had back-ups for everything, but current accounts I was
To> working on at the end of the month of April - and I'm afraid I lost two
To> -(2)- accounts that were delinquent into last year -(I do not make a
To> print- out for every account or I would be burried in paper = THIS IS A
To> "PAPERLESS" OFFICE - as they say.
To> .
To> I will be running, like this, off a floppy disc. for a time
To> until I get restored -(if ever)- so PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME OFF YOUR
To> MEMBERSHIP ROLLS IN YOUR COMPUTER, or I will have the trouble that
To> SCRIBE has !!! .
To> So, now I know what you went through last July !!! more or
To> less. .
To> Take care, buddy..... YE OLDE @1:267/72
