Here is a fun little story to illustrate the importance of frequently backing
up (saving) your genealogy files OFF of your computer. Use a diskette,
ZipDisk or whatever......but, SAVE your files OFF your computer often.

Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about who managed to
get the most out of his computer. This had been going on for days and God,
was
tired of hearing all of the bickering. God said, "Cool it. I am going to set
up a test that will run two hours and I will judge who does the better job."
So down they sat at the keyboards and typed away. They moused away. They
did spreadsheets, they wrote reports, they sent faxes, they sent out
e-mail, they sent out e-mail with attachments, they downloaded, they did some
genealogy reports, they made cards, they did every known job. But just a few
minutes before the two hours were up, a lightening flashed across the sky.
The
thunder rolled and the rains came down hard. And of course the
electricity went off. Satan was upset. He fumed and
fussed and he ranted and raved, all to no avail. The electricity stayed
off. But after a bit, the rains stopped and the electricity came back on.
Satan screamed, "I lost it all when the power went off. What am I going to
do? What happened to Jesus' work?" Jesus just sat and smiled. Again Satan
asked about the work that Jesus had done. As Jesus turned his computer back
on the screen glowed and when he pushed "print it", it was all there. "How
did
he do it." Satan asked? God smiled and said, "Jesus Saves."
