Just so that it doesn't happy to anyone else; make sure you
regularly make backups.  Even if you have too much to put
on floppies, or don't have a CDRW, or a tape backup unit,
you can use the internet... www.50megs.com will give you
50megs of space, some places give you up to 500meg.
There are some software packages that let your Windows
machine see an internet 'drive' as just another drive on
your PC.  If you go the internet drive route, I'd suggest
doing it twice on two different services, just in the event
one of the services folds.

For the places like 50megs, just zip everthing up in a
file, and ftp it there, or use their 'file upload' facility.
