First mobile post
Category: first time
So this happens to be my first mobile post. One of the reasons I have not been on here in about a year is my laptop is possessed. Using it it online is pointless, because it does what it wants. I have turned to my work computers for everyday, non restricted use. As I speak I'm at my desk going through files on one computer and watching Manchester United v. Newcastle United on the other.well itsk the second half. Time to get back to the match and do some work!!

yes, as with any other means of receiving/sharing, it is possible and just as easy to transfer a virus to the external hard drive and visa versa. Also, even back-ups need back ups (externals are prone to failure- take extra care of them- keep them cool, clean and well ventilated) so either a second external hard drive and/or backing up to CD-R (or if you have a dvd burner on your laptop, use the much larger DVD-R/DVD+R) or a large storage flash drive will help in that event. My laptop is on the way out, so I've been backing up everywhere- even creating email attachments of Word documents and sending them to myself. Anything helps.
Check out reviews on external hard drives- know whats what- what you need, dont need, etc. Bestbuy.com had some deals as well as Newegg.com- both offer free shipping. I picked up mine at a local Bestbuy. Good luck!

Yes I hope so. I also found your last post helpful. I need to get an external hd to get everything off of my zombie laptop. I do have a question though. Can you transfer a virus to your external? How easy is that to do?

Well, I am really glad we missed out on that economic prosperity thing you Long Islanders have been having. ^_^

I think we missed the wind too from the sound of it. Glad your first brush with winter was more temperate than ours.
