And once again? ? ?

Gentlemen,and ladies. This may have to be moved but I'm posting it here. Once again my computer has somehow mamaged to make about 80% of my names/addresses disappear from my listings. And without names/addresses/phone numbers I have no way of contacting some folks. Soooo if you would like to; please send me a pm with your screen name, real name, address and e-mail/phone number so I can get things started for the "One Fly" this year. This time I promise I will keep a paper back-up copy.(rolodex) I feel like an idiot. The only thing I can figure out is that when I do a disc clean-up it sees the file as fragmented and just dumps names. I have some names but not some of the less used names. This is the third time this has happened. I'm sure Marty can tell me how to prevent this happening.
So, if, you want me to be able to contact you by mail/phone/e-mail, I will need you to pm me with your information. Terribly sorry.
Oh and I will not be "sharing" your information. LOL how can I "share" when I can't find it myself?

BTW Has anybody seen the green guest sign-in book from last years' "One Fly"? It seems to have disappeared too. But I will have another for this year. Makes me look stupid, NO?

    'Tis the downfall of modern conveniences... info that is so quick and easy to access can just as quickly and easily disappear!
    I just hope I never loose my cell phone!

    indsguiz - all that stuff proves is that your human like the rest of us. I recently had to switch out computers and WOW what an eye opener. Address book gone, favorites gone, a lot of saved e-mails etc. gone. A completely new looking system to deal with and it's been over a month now and I still get confused. Take a deep breath and slowly work through it.

    indsguiz, the best thing I can recommend is go to Staples and buy a jump drive and use it as storage for all important documents. Use your harddrive as a backup. This has worked for me for many years. I would hate to say how many times I have had computer crashes. I am on my second laptop since Christmas. My 2 year old granddaughter crashed my desktop at Thanksgiving. It seems the flashdrives are more stable since all they have are documents. Rick

    This is very strange. I've only had 11 people update their contact info. Last time it was about 40? ? ?
