Have you all backed up your stuff for the coming storm??

[LorriLove]

According to the news bulletin this evening, recent Sun spot activity has resulted in violent Solar storms coming our way.

Billions of tons of magnetically charged particles 'may' bombard the Earth within the next few days, and it may go on for weeks.

As a result, electrical grids, satellite communications, and Computer systems 'may' overload and crash out without prior notice.

So have you backed up your valuables to removable media lately, sorry techie talk, copied all your important stuff, like 49,998 words of your NaMo entry to discs away from pute. Just in case your ultra stable copy of XP suddenly decides to go wipe out to 'blue screen of death' when the storm hits. Re-formatting and re-loading operating systems wipes everything off your HD.

I've just done mine, but my wifey said she hates backing up onto a three and a half inch floppy so she declined my other offer

I mean don't come shouting at me if it don't happen, just thought I'd warn anyone who wasn't aware of the remote risk from this Solar shit.

pops...........

hay pops does this mean i got to take steps to protect my electric toys from overload, 'overload!!!' wow, come on sun storm, cum on, giggle

hay i'll take that backing up onto a hard one business now if you want

You are about to be bombarded by mega-joules of cosmic radiation and you are worried about backing up your digitized smut?

Me, I'm slathering myself with a couple of tubes of flake white.

In case you were wondering, this is what a Solar Flare looks like from NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory(SOHO)satellite.

About that solar flare wiping out my hard drive?

Like the man said, as he plunged past the fiftieth story of the Empire State Building, "So Good, So Far."
