Congratulations on the recovery! Will you be naming your computer Lazarus now in honour of the event? ;-)
LOL! I might just do that! *g*
External drives are dirt-cheap these days and I heartily recommend them, though just as with whatever you've got on your computer's HD that is irreplaceable (fic, pics, essays, whatever ...) you should have a secondary backup for the HD, too.
That's excellent advice. I do have some stuff on CD, though I've really got to store some more files. The problem is that my computer can't burn CDs, so I have to transfer files to another computer using my memory stick. Last time, a friend was good enough to help me out. However, I think my brother might have a CD burner on his computer, so I should check with him.
