I *did* get most of the important stuff off - including all the LtL files and the other wip that I have about 25 chapters done on. I lost a few other wips - the 'best' one that I'm excited about I emailed several people in the last couple of days so I can get it back.
I don't rely much on my computer, seeing the way it's prone to spywares, addwares, viruses, trojan horses...
So I usually mail any stuff I think is important to myself, so that I have a copy of it on the internet. I know it isn't safe either... but it's better than the security stuff my hubby's installed in my laptop.
I also make sure I don't leave my credit card number on the system ( bad experience
)... sometimes the physical work of going to the bank to withdraw cash is better than the luxury of sitting at home and doing e-shopping.
