Our PC died a couple of years ago and that was when I first learned about memory sticks. The specialist who retrieved our information did very well, and everyody started talking about back up. I did not reall y understand this either! Anyway, our webmaster Paul, (we have a site for B & B) explained we could use either a largish special back up thing - described as being about the size of a normal book - or a powerful USB key/memory stick. I opted for the latter as it is so much more portable. It is quite a big one 16 GB and I try to remember to back up monthly. You can do it more frequently but the whole prcedure makes me nervous! I have now bought more memory sticks and have photos of an important wedding on one, and leave them there. I am about to start doing the Huguenot tree I mentioned in an earlier mail (slight problems to do with finding that my brother, who has an appalling tree full of errors and fictional people on the site that after your advice, and subsequent research, I want to use!!!!) I need to keep my work totally separate, and to that end will probably keep it on a memory stick to avoid any possible contamination. Once you get used to it mmemory sticks are very useful and extremely portable. My son even bought me one he said is supposed to be bomb proof and water tight to 15 metres! I swim daily, but am not used to taking that with me!

Also to both of you and all readers, please remember that there is a very effective(in my opinion) free antivirus program that you can download from Microsoft called 'Microsoft essentials'. Just go to your search engine, google etc, and search for 'Microsoft essentials' and follow the simple download instructions etc. If Microsoft can't get it right we might as well all pack up and go back to the post and an abacus.

from Edna - Ottawa --- "Chocolate Wars" ...The extraordinary and dramatic story of the chocolate pioneers-as told by one of the descendants of the Cadbury dynasty-ending with Kraft's recent takeover of the empire With a cast of characters straight from a Victorian novel, Chocolate Wars tells the story of the great chocolatier dynasties-the Lindts, Frys, Hersheys, Marses and Nestles-through the prism of the Cadburys. Chocolate was consumed unrefined and unprocessed as a rather bitter, fatty drink for the wealthy elite until the late 19th century, when the Swiss discovered a way to blend it with milk and unleashed a product that would storm every market in the world. Thereafter, one of the great global business rivalries unfolded as each chocolate maker attempted to dominate its domestic market and innovate recipes for chocolate that would set it apart from its rivals. The contest was full of dramatic contradictions: the Cadburys were austere Quakers who found themselves making millions from an indulgent product; Kitty Hershey could hardly have been more flamboyant, yet her husband was moved by the Cadburys' tradition of philanthropy. Each company was a product of its unique time and place, yet all of them shared one thing: they want to make the best chocolate in the world. Chocolate Wars divulges the visions and ideals that inspired these royal chocolate families and, above all, the mouth-watering chocolate concoctions they created that have driven a global transformation of one of our favourite treats. And with the recent purchase of Cadbury's by mega-food manufacturer Kraft, the story is brought rapidly into the present. ... About the Author Deborah Cadbury is a writer, award-winning documentary producer for the BBC, the author of seven books and a relative of the famous Quaker family that gave its name to one of the world's most famous brands of chocolate.

Both of my grandmothers worked at the factory of J.S. Fry & Sons, Chocolate and Cocoa Manufacturers in Bristol. The works were in Union Street, Nelson Street and Quay Street. My maternal grandmother used to make cream-filled chocolate bars. She ate her fill of them the first week she was there and didn't want any more ever again! :-) Each department in the factory had its own room and its own hands. A visitor to the factory would see in one room 'great crowds of neatly dressed and cheerful looking girls' whose job it was to cover with chocolate the different kinds of creams, which were in little moulds in front of them. My paternal grandmother was a packer. A visitor going into the packing department would see 'hundreds of girls' at work 'filling tins and bags, packets and boxes, with the differently shaped and differently confectioned morsels of delight'. Fry's had two factories making the boxes, which were 'engaged in a constant race in supplying the demand'. In the late 19th-century, the box making department was at Wapping and a fancy-box factory was in Quay Street. To be a worker at Fry's was a "certificate of merit" and a 'guarantee of respectability' in those days. Josephine -- www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

I have passed it on to my other half who will be dealing with my Acorn hard disc problem. I really hope that it can be sorted out as already I have been having slight difficulties on the PC just replying to your message. My Acorn lets me choose to reply to sender or list, but the PC doesn't and I have difficulty formatting paragraphs in e-mails sent from a PC. I started to reply then looked at your original message, by which time the message I had started to compose had disappeared from my screen:-( I suppose that using a PC for e-mail this is something that I may have to get used to, but I am a creature of habit and from experience I know that it can take me ages to write one PC reply, when I could rattle off 10 or more Acorn replies in the same time:-) Josephine -- www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

Hi Josephine It maybe that if you buy a case for a hard disc from somewhere like Misco Ltd or Maplin Ltd you can remove the Acorn Hard Disc (power off please) and put it in the case and plug it into a USB socket in the PC. Windows should recognize the disc and call it Drive D or say, X and you may be able to retrieve the data. Ive found that when the main disc goes in my Computers it still has accessible data even though it no longer functions normally. If in doubt talk to the suppliers of the hard disc case, they all have technical departments.

Dear Listers and Jo: Jo: I am so sorry to read about the loss of your beloved Acorn. I have just gone through a similar process when the motherboard on my PC computer suddenly died and somehow corrupted the hard drive so that its letter cannot be recognized. So the files could not be recovered. All was not lost as I had my data backed up on a commercial service called Carbonite which I highly recommend; I have no financial interest in Carbonite other than as a satisfied customer. It is $55 per year in the US and will back up in the background any amount of data, but not programs, to servers on the Internet. Google it and see if you like it. I bought a new computer, accessed Carbonite and downloaded my 17 GB of stored files and data. It took several hours but it worked. There was one glitch in the restoration though. My Family Tree Maker files were not saved! It was my fault as they were in the C: folder and not in the Documents folder as I thought they were and I had backed up only the Documents and Settings folder. Luckily I had all my FTM data up to July 21 on a memory stick but I still lost all that I had entered since then; thank goodness for paper copies! The Carbonite people were outstanding in helping me restore my files (17 GB) and said that when I was ready to give them a call and they would guide me to make sure that everything I wanted backed was in fact backed up. My problem now is that like Jo my new computer uses a different operating system, System 7, and I do not like it as much as my trusty XP. Also I had to change to FTM 2010 from Version 10. I must say I like Version 10 a whole lot better. It is a pity that Version 10 will not install on System 7; I know you can set up a virtual XP under System 7 and then run Version 10 but that is a hassle to maintain. Anyhow, I know somewhat what you are going though Jo and wish you all the best in getting used to another PC. It will come. Everybody: please look at an off site storage service for your precious data. David (Beecham) PA-USA, where it is a nice fall day.
