TC, re:...Maybe I'm unusual...

I think you are (unusual) in that most people don't even have a backup method in place. Nor are they organized enough to have all the software/OS there ready to reinstall. Nor to they want to spend the time it takes. In addition, they're not even sure exactly what to do and so are just plain scared that something will "go terribly wrong" (undoubtedly the case if they have no backup ;^).

Many on this thread are PC-tinkerers - often this makes them very PC-knowledgeable and therefore useful to this thread. But perhaps they're a bit blind to how the "rest of the world" operates.
