[AT] OT some Question for computer guru...

[Mike M]

Yes, that would be a problem Cecil.... I had Carbonite for years, but 
dumped it recently for the external drive. I wasn't necessarily unhappy 
with it because it was automatic. But I had to wipe my drive, and 
reinstall Windows, and it took about a week to put everything back to 
the computer. Too slow in my opinion.  Not really their fault just my 
internet connection.
