Sad day is today... [OT] Message #1 Posted by Tizedes Csaba [Hungary] on 22 June 2005, 2:58 a.m. I lost my orange-coloured exercise book, inside on it many progs for my HP32SII and 15C, many ideas for measuring in the hidrodynamical lab, many good tips for my novellist career :) , tricks for measuring very ductile pipe-flow (like artery or vein) ideas for my phd studies... And I lost my very delicious elderflower-syrup recipe :( So, it's a very sad day... :( Csaba

It's tough for a person to try to remember all the ideas and tricks he/she develeoped. When I put ideas and programs on paper .. I type them in on my laptop and make backups. This way there is not only one copy that can be lost! Namir

Otherwise, no matter how many backups you have, data is lost anyway.

(Brazil) on 22 June 2005, 12:18 p.m., in response to message #1 by Tizedes Csaba [Hungary] Hi, Tizedes; I'm sad for you, but I also hope you find your 'notes' books. I once had a particular painfull loss: three issues of HP Key Notes. Not my own notes, but surely something not to be lost. About one year ago, a portable stair falled over one of my CD's and smashed it into pieces (should I say 'rest in peace' or 'rest in pieces'?). It was a collection of about 600MBytes of HP data, some were my own, others were from other sources, like the MoHPC, HP itself and some contributors. Many of the 'foreign' data I could recover, but the ones I had as my own (programs, procedures, etc) were definitely lost. It is not much of a comfort though, but surely will let you know that others understand your feelings. Regards. Luiz (Brazil)

If you can recognize yourself in a mirror nothing is lost 8^). New ideas, recipies, and coloured books will come for sure. Cheers! Marx Pio
