Title: Wedding plaque
Post by: Bill P on July 24, 2010, 05:17:07 pm: Hi, I'm a tad desperate on this one. My hard drive went poof a few weeks ago (note to everyone, back up everything all the time!). Before that happened, I had a small booth at a wedding show and sold a bunch of plaques that can be seen at http://www.8by10woodworking.com/Plaques_And_Signs.html (http://www.8by10woodworking.com/Plaques_And_Signs.html) . I have no memory of where I got the pattern the first time. I've always meant to post this question here so I can give credit where credit is due, but never got around to it. Help me, please. Has anyone ever seen this before? Help an old man figure out where it came from so I can get it again. Thanks, Bill

When you said USB 'stick' I was thinking maybe 8GB flash drive!

I have a converted 320 GB hard drive that I put into an external closure for my back-ups and that is adequate for all my 'stuff'!

Post by: northie66 on July 26, 2010, 09:43:04 pm: I really don't utilize it as much as I should. It's on my list of things to do.

Post by: boxmaker on July 26, 2010, 10:33:26 pm: I started with a 4GB flash drive, then 8GB flash drive, Now I have a 250 GB external USB drive. I guess it's kinda like a garage, never big enough. I didn't realize they made a Tera Byte, WOW Janet that's some serious back up.

Post by: northie66 on July 27, 2010, 07:41:24 am: I think $99 is pretty cheap for that much space. But like I said, I didn't buy mine either. It was a gift.

Did someone just say I have "serious back"? hehehe :P

Post by: Judy Hunter on July 27, 2010, 10:41:55 am: I guess I am really old fashoned. I print my scroll saw patterns and file them, then just make a copy as needed.
I use a couple of backups just for stuff I really don't need but don't really want to delete either.

Post by: northie66 on July 27, 2010, 08:02:22 pm: Honestly Judy, I think the old fashioned way is generally the less stressful. We worry about putting stuff on the computer, organizing it, making backups, etc. All we have to do is print and file.
