[AT] Here we go again

[charlie hill]

Larry,  store all those pics on CD NOW.  I had about 600 pictures 
mysteriously disappear from my hard drive.  They were vacation pictures I 
took in Hawaii last Feb and I hadn't gotten around to putting them on CD. 
I think I already told the list about it.  The pictures are still there but 
4 different software programs later I can't save them.  I still don't know 
what caused them to go away.

Oh by the way, Yahoo is about to lay off a few hundred folks.  Seems My 
Space and the other social networking sites are cutting into their business 
pretty hard.

Charlie
