    No hindsight for the blind.

    Default Aaaargh I'm pwned

    My laptop hard drive just died on me. There goes my PT database, my bankroll spreadsheet, and a ton of photos and documents. Backup, you say?

    Default Re: Aaaargh I'm pwned

    About a year ago my hard drive crashed. I lost 30k hands of poker, 70 gigs of MP3s, 100 gigs of movies, and about 6 years worth of programming code that I had written, including web libraries, and pretty intense graphics libraries, and my own custom game engine; I had even made a full-blown game (and was planning on releasing it as shareware), but that's all gone now. Not to mention dozens of documents of varying importance.

    What did I learn from this? Not a damn thing. I still don't back anything up.

    Let's be honest. The reason you're sad is because you lost those 50 gigs of premium porn that will take you months to recover. That is really tough. I'm sure some of the lonelier people here at FTR can loan you some porn and help you get back on your feet.

    backup HDs are fairly cheap these days. you can get a usb 2.0 100gig for around 60-100$.. maybe everyone should have them??

    i had one, then it crashed.. so no more backups. ha luckily my computers are still working

    Your place or my place
    Man, you guys are complaining about losing 30-100k hands on PT? You guys all need to play a lot more poker.
    <Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.
