    Backup is always good, I lost a few hundred wedding photos to a hard drive crash.

    ...or I could buy one at my store for like 104.00!
    It's not that they are all that expensive, it's just that I have a vacation coming up, and can't spare the scratch at the moment...

    I know first hand how much it would scuk to have the core of your program lost, but on the other hand, I know that when I program, I wind up doing things and going about methods in way's that shouldn't be done, only to look at it later and realize that I should have done it a different way.

    And since you have worked on it recently you remember alot of how it worked. So, it might have been catastrophic, but you'd probably still be okay if you had to start from scratch.

    Anyways, let me know if you need any help on coding. I've been in the business for a long time now. (Longer than I'd like.) And I've learned alot about VB. I'm currently in development of a huge Optometrist program storing thousands of patient records, CallerID, Exam information, Reports large database's, MP3, E-Mail, TimeClock, etc, all stored in the same program. VB code is in excess of 75,000 lines of code, and over 75 forms. It's about 25% complete. So, I have the experience. I don't want to sound snoody or anything.

    Are you going to be releasing your source code? I switched from Media Engine to my own version because Media Engine became closed source. That was enough to move me away.

    Anyways, much anticipations on the release of Alexis. I'm defanetly interested in it, and relived to find that the core wasn't lost.

    well shiat

    I remember just a few weeks ago, crying like a baby when I had the great idea of reformatting and installing my raid back. I backed up all my junk, and my entire Docs folder, and so on. Well there is this nice feature with XP pro, and its fuc****ng called ENCRYPTION!!! Well to make a long story short I was hacking my old encryption key for weeks, I gave up and just dumped all my stuff in the trash. Years of photos, ones I never wanted to lose, and that’s my fault for not, let say it together now, backing up my data.
    Now I am the proud owner of a Sony 4x dvd all in one burner. IT actually quite nice. Been doing lots of movie ripps lately, and many runs to blockbuster. Anywho good times.

    I've had this happen to me last year. Lost 245 pages of a book I had written. I was freaking heartbroken and I think i was depressed for a month... Haven't written anything since.
