Age Of Electronics
Keep a paper (hard) copy of all your contacts or any other Notes, Lists, Reminders, etc.
Here is why: I woke up this morning, turned on my tablet and my email had vanished along with all my contacts . . . AGAIN . . . I went through this with the cell phone people too - some rookie lost all my contacts and WORK RELATED PHOTOS - (photos at least I had already emailed to work, thank goodness.)
After numerous calls between 3 entities all blaming each other for the problem, and the first person that I let "hop on" to fix, lost even more features, and 7 hours and 45 minutes later I was 1/4 inch from tossing my tablet out into the yard like a frisbee . . . 🚀
Magically, I somehow fixed myself . . . So much for "tech support"- don't get me wrong, I have lots of friends in IT - not everyone is well trained or even honest and I do not want to lump the bad with the good - they obviously need more training.
So do yourself a favor and print out the important stuff every once in a while, better to have a paper copy than nothing at all. Or back up or whatever you do to protect your stuff - no sense in losing a day of your life or more fixing.
And people wonder why I have as few gadgets as possible - another day of my life lost for the zillionth time - I have far better things to do with my day . . . Like rescue cats!
Time for a cocktail and carry on . . . 🍹
Wonder how far I could have flung the tablet in the wind . . .🤔

Very good idea.

Good idea. My ipad just warned me today that it hasn't been backed up in over 100 days. Guess this is a great reminder for me because I do get lazy about backing up. :) So, thanks for the reminder!
