Happy Fourth of July! Have you made your computer backups yet?

You Need A Backup!

Yes, you. If you keep personally valuable files on your computer, such as wedding photos & videos or grandchild’s wedding photos and videos, files related to taxes, and files related to your occupation-then for Heaven’s Sakes GET A BACKUP DRIVE! They’re on sale! Tonight! Tomorrow! Here are the links!

1 Tb Western Digital USB External Backup Drive from Wal-Mart With In-Store Pick-up.

3 TB Western Digital USB External Backup Drive, 8 TB Seagate USB External Backup Drive. 500 GB FW800/USB 3.0 drive from LaCie, and 4 TB USB-C (Design by Porsche!) External Backup Drive from LaCie, all at Fry’s this week. And don’t forget to sign up for those promo codes, as they can save you money!

Costco will close tomorrow for the 4th ,so if you make your regular dogfood and beer run there on Wednesdays; stop by the electronics section for a good deal on a backup drive, too! The hardest part will be getting the drive out of the darn clamshell packaging!

And I’m just as bad as you may be. I’ve got a laptop I haven’t backed up in 333 days! So when I got home tonight, I plugged in my little 1TB backup drive to start the process. 

But I have a wonderful new MacBook Pro with all USB-C! How the Hell do I connect my HDTV to it, among other questions?

Roman Loyola of Macworld researched the dilemma of finding the right USB-C & Thunderbolt 3 adaptors for your MacBook Pro here.  Have at it.
