[explainingcomputers]

@HackSDK It is the top of a Lacie D2 hard drive (a rather old one before they changed the design to include a large light/button).

Do you have any Linux videos?

[explainingcomputers]

@tenchidbz I don't have any Linux videos, but following this comment I have made a note to make at least one in 2012! :-) Thanks for the idea.

@919350829705 Thanks for your kind comments. Some people do appear to get rather irrate here! Unfortunately my vocal chords have been damaged in surgery and I currently cannot speak for at least a month. Fingers crossed things will heal and I will hopefully get back to making videos in a couple of months. In the meantime, I will upload a new video to my ExplainingTheFuture channel very soon -- recorded pre surgery! :-) But last for a while.

Thanks for the great videos. My mother has about 20 years of research of genealogy on a computer I built for her. Should this be encrypted? It has personal information such as family members birth dates/ death dates/ certificates of birth/ death/ marriage/ etc. I would assume it should be. It is backed up to a new external hard disk.
