We had a transformer blow near my house last night, and my already ageing desktop computer did not appreciate the sudden power loss. This is why I say backup religiously; I didn't lose anything but three sentences of the WIP I was working on at the time. But my tower was very slow to come back on and the problems I was having with it got worse.
Weirdly I had gone to Office Depot earlier that day to buy a tower because it was on sale for $150.00 off; I was planning to replace the old one next week. So that worked out nicely (and a bit eerily. Could I be psychic? Ha.)
Anway, say hello to the new desktop. :)

Talk about good timing. Mine is getting a little cranky. It might be time to clean the insides with compressed air. Transferring software and files to a new computer is a tedious endeavor, especially since two of my software packages are very persnickety about being transferred. It always takes a call to their manufacturers to convince them I am the legitimate owners of the software.
I'm with you in that I back up three different places. This was pretty fortuitous though on the timing. I use Macrium or Acronis to transfer my files. They've worked the best for me.
