Both of you got me thinking about back-up, too.
For Windows users, here’s info on backing up files (I wasn’t sure about the process, but you might be):

Microsoft also has a free online storage and sharing called SkyDrive:

I thank both of you for your input. I’m sure I ought to take backing up more seriously. I have never had a catastrophic crash but I know it’s just a millisecond away at any given time. Free storage sounds good. I like free.
