[GNC] screwed up my cash acount

[G R Hewitt]

If you have a MAC Time Machine does all the grunt lifting out of backing
up; many a time it has saved hours of work of one sort or another for me.
For Windows I use Macrion Reflect Free; this has the advantage of being
able to mount a backup as a drive and drill down to the file you need -
more-or-less like Time Machine on a MAC.
