Say you have years of priceless data stored on your hard drive and all your install disks are at home. Then your whole house burns to the ground, and while you were busy trying to save less important things like, oh say, your kids, you totally forgot to disconnect your computer from everything and carry it out too. All that data would be lost.

What would you possibly recommend to prepare for and prevent such loss?

Norton blocked a worm while I was on the DeviantArt.com website, but it happened while I was opening Wikipedia in another tab. If I didn't have an account on DeviantArt.com, I would turn the security and privacy settings up to max. What are your recommendations?

As my question says, when I insert CDs into my laptop they do not play automatically neither does my PC ask me what I want to do (open in iTunes, WM, open to view files etc)

Having read up on this on Yahoo Answers I found you go to your "CD Drive" in My Computer........ only problem is, I DON'T HAVE A CD DRIVE..... only a hard drive in My Computer folder.

What to do???

this service can not be started, either because it is disabled, or because it has no enabled device associeated with it.

So on my computer when I hit the shift key and the number "4," up pops a dollar symbol like this: $. If I were to purchase a computer in the UK, would it have a "pound" symbol on the keyboard above the 4?

And what about the euro? (Pardon my ignorance, but I don't even know if it has a symbol.)

Moreover, is there any way I can make the pound symbol with my computer?

THis blue sky looks like the stationery I use for my e mails. When I send an e mail, nothing is attached by me, or indeed shows as an attachement even when you looks at it in "sent e mails". Thanks

..... do you believe that the USB memory stick will become obsolete? I use a 2 GB card for backup and it remain in the slot at all times. A USB memory stick would be impractical since it sticks out. Many of the cards are also compatible with other devices where memory sticks are not. Cameras, phones, picture frames, etc.

The question I have is since this laptop only has a 4GB harddrive. Once I fill up the meory with documents I have writen and saved on the laptop (asus Eee Pc) can I transfer that information and store it on my desktop computer running windows vista with microsoft office 2003 will I be able to further work on the document that I created from the laptop using openoffice?
