Last week my pc was playing up. I rushed out and spent a fortune on pen drives, but the pc died before I could backup latest stuff! Not a nice feeling, that... It's fairly easy to reinstall stuff, but with valuable files at risk, frankly, the blue screen of death becomes truly terrifying... But, against the odds, like Phoenix rising out of the ashes, it resurrected. Hurrah! The cause was a faulty memory stick! I took it out with dell's phone supervision :), so now it's v. slow and I'll have to get a new memory stick... Still, not bad compared to the alternative. And it's regular back ups for me from now on!
