You would think by now we would know better but we don’t. Our hard drive died and with it loads of our data. Nothing missing on the map. Or at least we have not found it yet but we have loast loads of other stuff. #%$&!!! It took us 10 deays to get the computer up again and now we have it working we are just beginning to get things rolling again. We also have a new external hard drive to store all our stuff on and so hopefully this will never happen again. So the moral of the story is always back up. Always back up always back up. I should say it again but I will spare you.
I would guess that we are still about 3 weeks away from sending the map to the printers so hopefully we will not be too much behind our planned publication date. Does this sort of thing happen to big publishers?
Anyone who was on our newsletter list should email us again with there info as we have lost all our emails. #$&@! Sorry folks.
