Just a thought that I’m passing on. Remember to make regular backups of whatever it is you have on your PC. If you download music through iTunes, make sure to add them on your iPod so they’re safe. Also remember to backup all your photo’s, you e-mail address book if you don’t use a web based e-mail client.
Make sure you have backups of you financial records, budget, etc.
You might think that something has happened to my PC, but luckily nothing did. I was just recently made aware of the extreme inconvenience I might go through if I were to lose all of those. Even though I make backups of most of the stuff, I did slip up on the e-mail address book in Thunderbird & Outlook Express.
Also, some of my passwords are saved on Firefox, so I hardly enter them, and thus my memory might have gone a bit rusty on them. Firefox was so sweet to let you see you password; meaning you can remove the ******* and actually see the real password!! (Go to Tools > Options > Security: Click “Show Password” and you’ll be given a list of websites along with the username & password)
I suggest that you make a list of passwords that you use (whether its for Flickr, your hardly ever used mail account, or maybe an e-card site), you can make a list and keep it on a CD.
If your PC were to be stolen, or even crashed, you can always continue with your life as normal
