A simple suggestion for the overwhelmed newbie

[Demanding Truth]

A critical heads-up people..

Given that 'StormVirus' could soon hit the internet, it is absolutely crucial that everyone running a widows OS with their valued data in it, and especially all businesses globally running widows, immediately acquire a secondary computer running Linux to save all their files in.. Or, it is possible to have just one computer with two hard drives.. You install Linux in a spare hard drive, preferably a new solid state hard drive.. Fill it up with all your precious data by transferring all your backup files to it, then switch back to the widows hard drive.. Use the Linux hard drive as your backup system.. When StormVirus hits the internet, destroying millions of widows computers, you'll still have a working Linux OS with a working copy of all your precious data safely stored in it.. Or buy a third SSD HD to use it as your secondary backup by connecting it to the computer with a hard drive USB adapter..

You'll loose nothing from the evil StormVirus war... Then you format the wrecked hard drive, if it will format, and install Linux on it.. But! when Storm hit my three first computers back in W-98 days, the hard drives wouldn't install an OS.. Storm killed the hard drives too.. But these days we have DBAN hard drive formatter.. Maybe DBAN would repair a Storm damaged hard drive..? probably... Everyone who installs OS's should have a CD of DBAN... (Just one very important thing: never ever have an external media connected to the computer's usb slots when running DBAN)..

When Storm hits a computer, instantly the screen fills-up with the antivirus's or firewall's front page till the RAM runs out, thus the 'storm'.. Reboot is the infamous 'blue screen'.. The OS is totally thht.. Everything on it is lost.. There is no recovery from a Storm hit... Once I managed to rip out the power-cord when Storm started.. I ran the antivirus to find three powerful computer viruses in every file opened.. I lost one saved note, and one downloaded pix.. Reboot was the infamous blue screen... If you are running widows on the internet, make an isolated Linux backup of all your precious files, so you don't loose them to an insane bully's jollies.. Make this week your 'back up my files' week.. Be safe, not sorry...
I sure wouldn't want to lose my precious files.. I have everything in many secure backups since W-95 days to now, even this note.. After I tap the 'submit reply', I'll add this note to the backup hard drive, connected by the usb connector after I disconnect the net... I just clicked up 'new document', and pasted this note into it...
*Always before you click any buttons in a forum while you are writing a compose, copy and paste the note into a new document file on the desktop.. You could have been logged out, and suddenly your work is lost.. So right now I'm copying it, and pasting it into the new document window on the desktop and saving it... Now I can't lose it... Just a word to the wise...

Okie, Now I copy and paste this note, and click submit, then save it in the backup hard drive... This netbook's hard drive could crash and die right now, and I wouldn't care in the slightest.. I wouldn't lose anything I can't replace from backups.. Meeting microstuf up close and personal, and that Storm bug made me cautious, is why I switched to Linux long ago, is why millions of good people switched to Linux, and are today.. We've had enough of being bullied by cockhead head fags!.. microstuf lost one hell of a lot of money bullying people.. Linux was birthed to help people escape the incessant bullying... After the Storm hits I researched Linux..
I found a university lab creating Linux.. I barely managed to install it on a hard drive, then emailed them hundreds of new ideas on how to make Linux user friendly, fun, useful, and stable... Linux is built my way from my hundreds of suggestions.. I love Linux.. Linux was like 'a ladder to escape from helldows'.. One suggestion I am proud of was: "Hey guys, howzabout making a real-time visual list of what's happening when the OS is installing and updating.' and "Hey guys can you make the little boxes be the buttons..? and "Hey guys can we have it so picture editors sides can be grabbed by the cursor, and moved inward and outward.', and Hey guys can we have little smiling faces that we can stick in places in letters.", and hundreds more new ideas and suggestions.. I even got into speculating solving internal systems writing problems, and adding systems.. Suddenly Linux was fun and easy...
