If your computer died...

[James H]

Why can't you be clearer more like?

You're only 13? Big deal.

I'm only 14, I built the tower I'm using now and I build PC's for friends and family for money.

I know about IT, but not the technical stuff. Stupid British schools only teach kids how to use Word and how to make charts.

Use the time you spend trolling this place, pissing people off here and downloading porn for your daddy to look the technical stuff up on the internet, moron.

Oh, and...

common sense says if you keep your important letters and their photocopies in the same folder then the fire will burn both of them. What do you expect to happen when your backup is on the same machine?

I use my iPod for backup personally

Must be terrible for you. My school had 7 computers (for 400 pupils)... BBC Micros. We were taught how to write silly little programs in BASIC. Can't say I've found that particularly useful since. Actually it wasn't useful then either.

<cue Nick to tell us how all this was just fields when he were a lad>

If my PC were do die now I would a) Be very angry at the money spent on it was void (I built it using money from a Saturday job at the time, and yes it is old) b) care for a bit but probably not rebuild as I think I'd be better off without the thing.

What would I most miss, like Jamez my music collections, including some things that I will never get again, my entire CD music collection is on here and I don't have the CD's anymore.

Programmes and settings how I want them. But I don't really do much on my PC anymore, just surf the forums and chat on MSN mainly, both easily fixed.

Not in Scotland anyway. We're currently learning quite complicated programming, and i'm 15 next month. So it's hardly Word and charts.

Pah, all you need to know is how to wield a screwdriver and plug things in. I was doing that when I was 12.

Anyhoo back on topic, I *know* I'd be able to cope without mine, for you see I have a flipbook edition of the News 24 countdown and an extra big box of kleenex to last me until the replacement computer arrived!

Okay.... :roll:

I have a 250GB USB drive which serves three primary functions:

1. To house my MP3 collection
2. To provide a backup of my laptop
3. To provide a backup of the desktop

Upshot is, I more or less have my ass covered.
