Backing up data should be priority

The bottom line is that hard drives are cheaper than ever and are not lasting nearly as long as they used to, so you have to be prepared.
Also there are some online systems that will back up your systems over the Internet. I have not tried one, but if you have a fast enough Internet connection it may be worth considering. What would stop me would be the recurring monthly charge. If you buy your own drive and own software there's no recurring fee.
WEEKLY WEB WONDER: It's more important than ever to donate to the American Red Cross to help our fellow man. You can do so online at www.redcross.org.
