Why You Need to Back Up Your Data!

One week before we were scheduled to go to print I had to leave town for a funeral. So I loaded up my laptop and headed out to Indianola, Mississippi. I spent the next five days with my family while putting the finishing touches on the magazine at night. I must say I was pretty proud of the new issue. I had totally revamped the layout and the cover story was going to be one of the best I had done. There was only one story left to complete before I could send everything off to print and I decided to write it on my phone on the way home. After getting back to Atlanta I stayed up till 5AM getting caught up on emails and paperwork when the unthinkable happened... ME!
