This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Just a friendly reminder: thumb drives kinda' suck as reliable storage. Especially ones that get carried around a lot. I've had soo many thumbdrives, from many different brands, of many different supposed qualities, all stop working mysteriously some day. Some not even more than a few months old.

All that is to say... make sure they're backed up somewhere else that's not also a thumb drive!

Yeah thanks its a good reminder. I make sure to follow the rule of 3 for anything important, primary source, local backup, remote backup.
