Holy sh*t... I can't believe it's actually working. I have it on a flash
drive. I can plug it into any PC when working or on the road and don't care
take my laptop in fear it'll get pinched. This is fantastic.

Then you should get a safety with password for your portable device.

I'll have to check and see if the Flash has something for safety. I never
bothered to look.


What is "a safety"?

That is good idea if you want to keep your messages historical in
a safe place.

I don't care much for W8 so will use this old Vista LT until it
dies. It's running much better since the System Recovery. Much
faster also.
WindowsMail is on it and since the problems were fixed by taking
someone's

advice on a forum, I'm using it for my email.


Important email will be backed up when I'm forced to use the LT
with W8.


Your posting style is completely incomprehensible. Am I supposed to be

Flash drives don't spin.


John knew that: "not spinning very rapidly" was humor (humour where he
lives).

However, the electrons in the storage cells *do* spin, they have spin
1/2.

I recall years ago, somewhere where I lived, it was slang for condom.

Since I moved around quite a bit in my early years, I don't recall which
place or places that was.

It seems not :-(

I don't try too hard. If I can't parse it easily, I give up (there are
others besides RHB who elicit that behavior from me).

Going by the context, it's probably not that! :-)

Maybe he means a flash drive with the little physical slide switch on the
side that acts as a write protect switch. He might be borrowing terminology
from the firearms world.

Nobody said my reply had to be relevant or useful or on topic or
anything like that :-)

He did say "get a safety with password", so I'm in the dark.

Do you have backups for that Flash drive ?

Why a Flash drive? Spinning HDDs are cheap and small enough and a
320GB one should hold *lots* of emails.


Then I'd have to lug an external drive as well as the laptop around with
me.
And will the old OE work on an external HD?



A "flash drive" *IS* an external HDD, just solid state and not
spinning very rapidly. Software mostly doesn't distinguish.
And "lug" is hardly appropriate when several hundred gigs can be
carried in something about the size of a pack of cards or less.
"Seagate Backup Plus"


When I hear external HDs I always think of the spinning ones like the
Seagate back home. I wouldn't want to carry that around with me. I'm using
OE from a Thumb or Flash drive.


http://www.seagate.com/gb/en/externa...d/backup-plus/
Okay, so it's £60 (about a hundred bux in USAlien money or so) but
that's a *TERABYTE* of portability.
Smaller drives are available from Seagate and other manufacturers.
Such as these, which are *cheaper* than many 32 and 64 GB flashes:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?keywords=320+gb+hdd (again, GB currencies
used, but just double it and you'll get a poor idea of the USD price).
I think I'd avoid the ones on this page: http://tinyurl.com/m287aw5
but maybe I'm just too paranoid?


I have several 4,8 and 64 GB flash drives. Floppies, DCs and DVDs are a
thing of the past.


I only asked because SSD's have limited writes and HDD's effectively
don't and email, like SETI@HOME and other BOINC projects, does a
*huge* number of writes.
I'd be reluctant to keep my entire email archive on SSD.
But that's just me.
Forget I mentioned it.

I assume he meant password protection of some kind. There isn't any that I
can see.

In Tools/Send check "Reply to messages using the format in which they were

They do when I leave them in trouser pockets and do some laundry.

Thank you for assuming I passed Physics-for-five-year-olds.
Which I probably did.
At three months.
A spin rate of zero is "not very rapid" but it is still an entirely
measurable and calculable spin rate. Science doesn't use language the
way real people do.


However, the electrons in the storage cells *do* spin, they have spin
1/2.


Yerp. You have to rotate 720 degrees for *all* of your parts to have
one complete rotation. If you only rotate 360 then many particles are
"facing backwards" and get confused, angry and upset.

I think I should add " " for the non-English.
J.


I suggest doing your rotation in four dimensions, which is a lot of fun.

But be careful to take along a lot of food, since if you don't rotate
again to get back to levulo stuff soon, you will starve eating the
normal levulo food. You'll need the food that you also rotated, so it
will work with your new dextro molecules.

No biggee, so do most of us, me included most of the time, but it is
nice to remember that *to* *the* *OS* *and* *software* most of the
time all storage looks very much alike.
Mostly.
Sort of.
If it squints.
It's only when you get down to drivers and such that it matters.


BTW... I always keep a backup Flash of important files. If I lose one or it
gets damaged, I have the second one at home locked in the desk draw. I email
files home where they're put on the backup drive. That's the daughter's job.


I have several 4,8 and 64 GB flash drives. Floppies, DCs and DVDs are a
thing of the past.



We wish.
Floppies may be as near extinct as it is possible to be by CDroms and
their denser brothers, Blu-Ray and DVD are going to be around for
*ages* in spite of all Apple's efforts to eradicate them. Even though
they are totally useless for backups of 3TB HDDs they are still useful
for moving stuff around and for movies and such.


Ya know, you're right. I have loads of Mp3s on DCs I made ages ago and still
listen to. They don't cross my mind for saving images, software, files both
personal and for work or text. I don't give them a thought.

Until Hollywood can get DRM that is completely bullet-proof they are
*never* (save for special occasions) going to release stuff on SSDs.
Nor should they as SSDs decay.
CDs are not as good as M-disc disks for storage but they do the job
well enough.
I doubt we'll see anything better until we get the fabled "crystal
storage" that has been promised for years.
Those would be ever so cool.


Crystal storage eh, interesting.

J.

See http://www.mdisc.com/what-is-mdisc/ for more M-disc stuff.
