Ok I am not much concerned about data loss as I have 2 external drives 
one 150gb and one 250g  the smaller one has about 100g of video clips to 
be used in the video I intend to start to work on in a week or two.  I 
have a few things to get straight on my programs first   I have about 45 
minutes of video that I put together on Premeire and about another hour 
to put together and edit in cinelerra.  The total thing to be two hours. 
Total it is about a years work to edit but my son and daughter will do 
some of the work on their boxes and forward to me. I will do it and 
licence under Creative commons. So if anyone wants to work on a video I 
will be glad to have them. Eespecially a good manager.
