Back up your data.....or you will be at the mercy of your vengeful children
My father's computer pooched on him today. Not such a big deal for most of the year, but as a retired accountant who took over a tax business a few years back, this is the season he needs things to go smoothly. It never does though.
A couple of years ago, it was his laser printer which died. This year, it was the power supply to his tower. If it can go wrong, it will during tax season!
Seeing as though his computer is still under warranty, he wants to send it in. But the box store where he bought it won't have anything done inside of two weeks. Not good for him or his clients.
Cue the 'good son' (well, his only son, so beggars can't be choosers) - who can not only loan him a computer while he's down, but also recover his files and put them on that computer so he's able to go on as if nothing's wrong. At this point, I'm the only thing standing between him and disaster - and I'm wondering: Does this warrant a bottle of Crown Royal, or are we into the single-malt scotch territory here? :lol-sign:
