Text files, documents, address lists, and the like are really rather small -- a lifetime of writing fits in a couple of MB. So at least archive these (as stuffit, zip files or whatever) and upload to some site (maybe your ISP) that lets you have some online storage. And/or email to a friend with a burner and ask him to burn it for you. (It's not really viable to backup multimedia, MP3, video, etc like this though.) It really is a queasy feeling to risk all your work to a single hard disk. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
