Hearing from the repair shop that my primary computer has blown its hard drive...

The 200+ smackers to repair the damage is bad enough, but knowing there's no guarantee they can salvage ANY of the data...that could be a disaster, esp. with tax time coming...

And guess who hasn't backed up any data lately?
