That is some shit. I lost one not long ago so I know how you feel. Learned my lesson about backing up files finally. It wasn't the first drive that I've lost without backup. Having to replace a computer is one thing but losing all of your files and work you have put into setting everything up the way you like is a whole other thing. At least you are back in business now. I highly recommend one of those half gig or gig back up drives. They have gotten cheap now. I love mine. So do my friends. lol They like to hook up to it and steal all of my shit. lol

Laptops are the way to go. I've been free from the desk for years and couldn't imagine going back. The switch can be costly if you are into gaming. I'm not so the average $500 to $600 laptop is all of the power that I need.

That's what I told my kid about his computer. He has a 360 for games. I told him to use it and be happy that you even have a laptop. lol

I have Vista on this one. I didn't like it at first but I'm getting used to it. I've ran every operating system there has ever been at some point I guess so I'm used to changes. I do wish that I had set this one up with dual OSs though for a few reasons.

Just as easy setting up a single one almost. You simply partition the hard drive and install your second OS into one of the partitions.
