When there was the outage a while back I had just gotten my BB so I didn't know abt outages etc so I kept refreshing the pages and doing battery pulls etc. I thought my BB was busted.

With all the loading and reloading of apps that I do, testing new things out for reviews and such I usually back it up once a week, but lately I find myself doing it more often due to certain things that are on there, if I lost some of that stuff they'd have top lock me up in mental hospital cause I'd go nuts, I was lucky enough for bypass the RIM outage this time but if another happens I won't be so lucky, but who knows, maybe I wouldn't be that bad off, it be kinda like a break for me, give me some time to not worry about some things, but if it got broke that would be another story thats why I was prev looking into buying an Otter Box from the CB Shop.

Didn't have the BB outage, didn't even know about it.
I would die a slow and agonizing death! I need my black berry to survive!
