Have your PC home networked. I have a home network with one lap top and one desktop wired to the Internet over a Cable modem 128Kbit/s. We usually back up the Laptop into the desktop and vice versa over the home network and most valuable data into Zip drive disks. This lap top I used 'on the go', once in a while I go to Nana -near the bar girls- and burn the data on a CD-ROM. Gold 81% (in R$ terms) gain in Brazil this year .

Jay for the price of a drive you may want to get a spare and use something like Norton Ghost to clone it regularly. You get all your settings and programs already installed just by swapping into the spare drive. Then restore your data. You can get it with Norton systemworks pro. approx 100US or 10million CDN soon to be 100CDN and 10Million US ;o) regards Kastel

<when was the last time you backed up the hard drive,> Huh? I haven't backed up my brain, hard drive or QUALCOMM. This is a one way trip I'm on. There's no going backwards. Just move, move and move again, staying half a step ahead of whatever is after me and avoiding any pitfalls I notice ahead. That process has worked for my progenitors for a billion years so I don't think I'll change the system now. Okay, I admit that's a slight exaggeration and the computer resets I've suffered have been frustrating [though to a minor degree compared with the exigencies, slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in other respects]. But it's with courage and cunning we must face the future. 10 trillion attempts at creating my genome have been made [give or take a few]. After that many successive approximations, I must be near enough to perfect [though nature seems to have made a few compromises along the way, not to mention letting a few quality control defects slip through]. So why not just trust the dual coiled DNA memory of all my antecedents' experiences over a billion years of challenge - now THAT's human sacrifice? Umpty trillions of deaths to produce me, you and all the others roaming their ecological niches right now. I could even feel guilty soaking my hard-won neurons in a bit of wine to bliss out for a while. The trillions of live sacrifices would consider me a real loser if they knew what I was doing with the family jewels - putting them at risk and using them for the most prosaic purposes.
