OT: Crap proofing my computer

[scirocco16vr32 at gmail.com (Chris Bennett)]

Me personally I would get an external drive with at least as much space as
your laptop's hard drive and do backups to it.  Double your drive space
would allow for multiple backups and/or manual copying.

That's how I keep my pr0n secure... er I mean DATA!!!
