Today; 31 March 2016 is World Backup Day

It really only takes a minute! It may take longer to backup every file you have, but it can only be an instant and everything is gone to cyber heaven (or hell... you decide)

An interesting web link about World Backup Day

I have my files backed up continuously through Dropbox but I also bought a 1TB (Terra byte) external hard drive that plugs into my PC and I just do a simple copy/ paste of my files, though they do include software to automate the process. Not such a bad idea is it?

My files are important and losing them? Not an option!

Happy World Backup Day 2016! 

30% Discount for AARP Members on ANCESTRY.COM (World Explorer Subscription) Ends Today; 31 March 2016

AARP members can get a 30% discount on their Ancestry.com membership. This includes current Ancestry.com members. The discount is applied to a yearly membership.

But hurry, today is the last day.

Details at Ancestry.com

PS. I joined AARP for $16 for one year. I then went to Ancestry.com and switched to the AARP Discount and saved $100- for the year over a subscription I was going to renew anyway.

The catch... I had to terminate my old plan that was set to renew in about 10 days. So I lost 10 days off the end of the membership...

I'd say it was worth $16 to join AARP and spend 10 minutes on the phone with Ancestry.com
