Can’t email ya, no link.. >;*)

Building stuff is what I do, I charge a flat build fee (not much) and parts are at cost, ideally paid direct by the customer so they know exactly what deal they get…
The issue once built is transport, too many couriers self insure, and it can take weeks to get the compo out of them, and some things like CPU HSF are so big and massive I will NEVER transport with them installed any method except my own hands personally to the customers hands, as even NORMAL courier handling is too rough for something like a big Noctua, take a look at the following and see what I mean by this…

I don’t even like “backup”…. you don’t want to backup, you want the future ability to RESTORE…. if I had a buck for ever time I saw a backup that was 100% perfect but only failed when it came time to restore something….

Teracopy does for win xx what the win 8 file dialogue does, and more.

Nitpick – Win8 has finally implemented a pause button for file copy/move. But it still doesn’t queue up same-disk actions, preferring instead to flog the drive back and forth, delaying completion significantly.

Do one thing right vs fuck up lots at once.

Onto backup philosophy: As Dan at DansData said, “If it’s not backed up, it’s not data you want to keep.”
