darkness burns bright in astoria

please please please consider doing a backup of your important personal and work related computer files. My office building burned last week. It was not a pretty sight. as far as I know, no one was hurt, but at least a few businesses did not have backups. Not a good situation to be in. because I work for a financial company, we had backups, but the hard copies are, well, toasty, or now probably soaking wet.
