Grrrrr
So, just another reminder on top of Danny's reminder - save your work. Save it on webpages and save it frequently. My laptop just crashed for the second time in two months for no apparent reason. A pox on HP. I'm breaking down and getting an apple. Please tell me I'll have better luck.
Oh man. I would hope to be able to tell you that you'll have better luck with an Apple, because mine is okay, so far. But my friend Mira just lost her "logic board" on her Apple, which is supposedly a major Apple product malfunction after a couple of years. I am about to be obsessive about backup.
$500 (this is on the very cheap side for hard drive recovery) later and I have most of my notes and pics back (though not all). Is there any way to blame the Russians for this?

Who else could you blame?
The Marfans?
