I lost my phone 1 hour before leaving for Thailand! I had everything on that phone-- including passwords. I couldn't remember anyone's phone number-- even my wife's!

She was mad and worried, wondering where I was and why I wasn't responding to her text!
luckily--I was able to locate a friend of a friend of my wifes' who still had her number.. maybe my next tattoo will be her number?

This will be a good test to see how my team runs the business without me- when email is the only option.

It sucks being without a phone! If I'm ever mugged at gun point for my phone-- I may have to consider fighting back!

I feel honored that you remembered my email... :biggrin:
Remember that there is always Google Hangouts.

Also - I think a trip without your cell phone is what is called a vacation.

Doesn't get any easier or cheaper than this.

I'm in the process of restoring 3 laptops.

The real bitch is going to be restoring my old mac.

Then I'm going to get one of these personal clouds.

I had a power spike that took out my previous laptop and an external drive because I was an idiot and didn't have them on a surge protector. So now I have Carbonite online back up. It's $269 a year for 250 GBs. I back up every 24 hours.

I believe most people are good.. I just realized that my phone screen was locked and I provided No way for an honest person to return the phone to me.. I think on my next phone my screen photo will be of a photo of a sign with the following info: "IF found please return to..... $100 reward given- no questions asked."

I bought a 2 TB (I think) Apple Time Capsule. I think it saves our stuff in the background.
