Get yourself a Windows Home Server from HP. You can back up and restore
your entire machine with virtually no operator input, and with the new
release, you can even backup your backups to removable hard drives and
store them off site. You can do a lot more with the WHS, too, which makes
it more interesting than simply using decent backup software to backup
your drives and reinstall them with a CD restore disk.


Why?


I mean, what the heck is so important about a stupid computer to do this
stuff?


Those of you that rely on a computer to store important information deserve
to get crashed ... or whatever.

With a WHS, you can back up and restore all the computers in your
household automatically, you can serve up saved movies stored on the WHS
to any computer in your household without clogging up the hard drive on
that computer, and you can also use the device as an iTunes server.
There are many other features, but those are the ones I use the most.


Now I *really* feel bad!

First I didn't have a couple hundred movies laying around, and now I see
that the I should have a WHS to back up and restore *all* the computers in
my household.

Gees, does *all* mean several, a dozen, a couple hundred? Man, I am way
behind you folks. Somehow I'm getting by with only one.
