They are very delicate so be slow and patient. If all goes well, you will have a repaired hard drive and then just get a thumb drive and make a quick backup before anything else happens.

    To he honest, I don't have the skill set physically or visually when it comes to making those kinds of repairs but hey... one of these days I'll find a cheap way to fix it

    Where have my tutorials gone?

    hi everyone:

    If you're wondering where on earth my coverage of SetupBuilder and latest features has gone, the answer is simple; I've fallen on hard times both financially and technologically. The short version of the story is as follows:

    1) My Hard drive that has all my installer images for all my apps has died unexpectedly and needs to be repaired (which costs major $$$). 2) My computer that I use to record the videos has finally bitten the dust and given up the ghost (R.I.P WINX-BUX1). and 3) other personal and life issues have prevented my from really getting a grasp on the latest SB features due to those issues taking away from my free time to really dive deep into the SB.

    As soon as i can get a shot to get my life back on track, I'll be back in the studio recording more SB training content.

    Please keep me in your thoughts
