Two great websites!

So, I have to take a little time and post about two companies...mozy.com and winkflash.com

About four months ago, our computer was having issues and we thought we lost everything...pictures, scrapbook stuff, work stuff, everything. Well, luckily we got it working again and were so relieved. A little while after that, my brother-in-law told us about a company called Mozy that does remote backup of your computer for like $5 a month. I thought that was cool and didn't think too much more about it. Well, about two months ago, I was just sitting at the computer and thought, "Maybe I should check out this mozy.com and start doing a remote backup." Well am I glad I did! Last week our computer died and I think it's dead for good this time. We have another computer he had bought a while to use, so I wasn't worried about not having a computer but then I thought, "Oh crap, what about all my data on the other computer?" But my worries were swept away when I remembered I was using Mozy! I am so glad that my brother-in-law told me about them and I am so glad I took the time to sign up and everything because now I have all my data that would have been lost otherwise!

And now for Winkflash. About a month ago, my sister-in-law emailed me and told me a promo code for winkflash.com to use for photobooks. Well, it just so happened that I have had Jaxon's scrapbook done now for about four months and was just waiting for a good sale, so I checked out the website and made my photobook. Well, I don't know what I was thinking, but I used the template on the website that makes the pictures about 1/2 the size I wanted them, so when I got the book in the mail I was disappointed to say the least. I emailed them thinking it was worth a shot to see if they would do anything for me and low and behold, they responded back and told me that if I was unsatisfied with the product, I could return it, they would refund my money and I could order a new one and they gave me another promo code to use so I could get it for the same price! I am so excited...even though it was my fault, they are more than happy to let me try again without having to pay extra!

So, there are my little plugs for these two companies...I hope you enjoyed the commercials :)

That is very interesting. We had the same issue; however, we didn't have anything backed up. We were able to get the data off the computer, but it never started up again. Those are great sites, thanks for sharing!

PS, when is your next trip to Disneyland?
