on the importance of backing up to paper

for those of you who don't know i lost everything.
my desktop, and my main computer ceased functioning the other day, also my Xbox got the Red ring, oh yeah and my phone broke.
and to make matters worse my laptop is giving me grief too.
and my miserable financial situation has made it so i cant even afford to repair my computer until January.

usually i back up all my work to an external, but i hadn't done that in a few weeks, as i had been busy ect ect. so all the work i had don on my desktop was gone.
i thought it was kind of strange since a few days before i was commenting on how making a paper backup of my book for Tribades was a waste of paper, and money.
now i realize if for some reason i needed to reproduce this show and i was in the situation i am in now i would not be able to unless i had that paper copy.

Lesson learned i guess

but i still need to fix my computer.
