Register-Guard -Here's the story</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT lang=0 face=Arial size=2
FAMILY="SANSSERIF">Some of you may have noticed that the Obit Report from the
Register-Guard came to an abrupt halt about theee weeks ago. I had a major
computer crash -- and, of course I was not backed up like I should have
been.<BR><BR>Everyone who reads this, STOP RIGHT NOW AND BACK UP everything on
your hard drive. It can happen at any time. I worked into the evening on a
Tuesday -- and shut down normally. The computer wouldn't boot up on Wednesday
morning.<BR><BR>Turns out that the Mother Board was the root cause of my three
hard drive failures in the past two years. So, I now have a new Mother Board,
a new 80 gb hard drive and a new floppy drive. (Yes, the floppy was corrupted,
too.)<BR><BR>I had last backed up on 9/22/2002 - yes that is 2002. So I lost
most of 2003. I have them on floppy until June, but that is when the floppy
drive began to fail.<BR><BR>Sooooooo, why am I telling you all this.<BR>Well,
I WILL still index the Register-Guard Obits for my personal use, BUT I WILL
NOT be posting them to Or-Roots. Anyone who wants to receive the obits
beginning where I left off on August 27, please email me personally and I will
make my own mailing list. Let's see how it works.<BR><BR>Linda
VanOrden<BR>Junction City, OR<BR>LinLouVan@aol.com<BR><BR>Do not make this
request to Or-Roots, please.</FONT> </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
