I've lost beaucoup stuff, including my last photos with my now deceased great uncle, to laptop death so now I use the Dell Data Safe on-line backup. It does it automatically for me every week so I don't have to think about it. You can get 2GB for free for a year, but I back up all my photos, music, writing, everything.<BR/><BR/>Hope you and Flip have a lovely holiday!
