I learn slowly, but I do learn.

I had to do some emergency OS maintenance on my lappy yesterday... but luckily after all my experiences with the Vista laptop it replaced, I've been more scrupulous about keeping my data (or "stuff", as it's also known) in a separate partition. I haven't been completely perfect in that regard... a lifetime of defaulting to C: is hard to overcome... but it just means I have to find and redownload things rather than losing any work, music, or pictures.

Because of half a life time in IT, I save everything on two different computers and a flash drive. That's how paranoid the help desk has made me.
