That's smart, Rob. My hard drive on my laptop died this summer when I was writing an article on the tragic history of the Old Clubhouse (of course!) but my son managed to email the article to me before the whole thing crashed. I am now piecing together my novel from sections I had saved before which actually is not a bad thing as it's easier for me to revise that way. I bought a new hard drive but I kept Vista so you may not have to change to Windows 8 if you lose your hard drive.

My husband did buy a new PC with Windows 8 which my family finds very annoying to use. The computer guy says Microsoft alternates between good products and ones people are not happy with so we can expect that Windows 9 or whatever the next one will be called will be a great improvement over Windows 8.
