No one uses this computer but me. VeggieFrog will, when she is home on vacation, but I have no secrets from her.

The b/f is ... well, hope less about puters. So, he is no threat.

And I recently had a hard drive puke put with all my business stuff on it. Cost me a fortune for recovery. So I make regular backups!

I got password on my main account, as far as data, most of the important shiets are on an external drive. The rest of it can sit on my RAID0 for all I care.

All my computers have passwords, habit from work. We are moving over to smartcards however.

Use a password to login remotely via ssh.
Backup every 15 days or so (mostly mp3s/ vdo)

Every night, each of my two computers sends an archive of itself to the other while I'm sleeping. I backup to CD every once in a while.

Bump for a reminder. Been seeing a lot of lightning damage lately.

hopefully not in NYC. kill the trees don't kill my athlon!

Nah, down here in S.FL, but, surges can happen anywhere. Figured 35% or so said it'd been a while last time I posted so thought I'd be nice and remind a few folks.
