Extending life . . .
The worst thing in the world is not backing up. It's actually the second worst thing in the world right after having a hard disk totally crash and burn. My Powerbook hard disk tanked the other day and I've been trying to recoup ever since. I didn't realize I had so many applications and documents until I was forced to start reinstalling all of them. I lost tons of documents, but I managed to back up my email about 3 weeks ago so that was a minimal loss. I called DriveSavers and they are way overpriced (between $500-$2700) for someone who is not a company with business-critical data.
There's an article on Wired today about John Sperling and his life-extension programs. It's a shame he didn't plug his latest project a bit more-- a political book about the great divide in the United States. I worked on this book a lot and it should be in stores in the coming months.
