We caught a virus

and not the human kind - the computer kind. it sucks. i have over 10,000, maybe 20,000 images on this system. and i hate to say this but they are not backed up. yikes. i know, i know - always back up your files! it's the golden rule of photography and parenting. i just sat tonight and watched videos of Mia crawling and walking, chewing on her feet and playing with the dog. I would be crushed to lose them so we have a plan. We are taking the system in for a well-puter visit and a DVD burner installation. pronto. i will then be backing up all pics on cd's and archiving them. seriously - how long will that take to archive 10-20K in pics?? any ideas? no worries - i will get it done and then breathe a huge sigh of relief. So after this plethora of posts, we will be on hiatus again while the 'puter gets an over hall and checked for bugs.
