Bad Day at Black Rock

I went to power up my Desktop PC and it blew--the power supply blew and fried my hard disk. Thank goodness I have a laptop. We are sending the hard drive to a recovery company ($125 just for evaluation). Although some of the data is backed up things like my email addresses etc. are not and I have a 30 gig drive and cannot find a way to back up the whole thing---ah PCs are not like mainframes--I have never failed to recover from a mainframe disaster without help from the outside!!!!!Hopefully they can recover most of my files/programs. Am going to try to find a good backup system. I have a very good UPS which protects from outside surges etc. but nothing can protect you from an internal disaster (like the power supply blowing)--in all the years (since the 70s) that I have had PCs I have never had something like this happen--I guess there is a first time for everything!!!!
