It really is heart breaking sometimes when you run into people that never backed up their stuff.  My pet peev is digital pictures.  So many people store all their pics on their computer and are yet quite computer novice.  The day comes when their hard drive crashes and bam, 3 years of memories gone.

Well, some people don't have the Hard Drive space for a second partition, and they don't have a spare hard drive to store their files. Such was the case with this family.

I've got to start backing up my files. :P

At one of the jobs I worked there were a bunch of 22 year olds working. (That place only hired kids) I couldn't remember a site to buy music and asked them. They gave me some free site when I was actually looking for itunes or some legit site. I told them that they will get virus's from those free sites. They said no problem. They would just simply wipe the drive and start anew. Then I said what about your friends and family that you send e-mails too? You should have seen the look on their faces! Like a deer in headlights.
