My hard disk didn't even crash. Sure, the laptop had nearly four years of heavy use, but it was a tough, built-to-last Dell Inspiron desktop-replacement behemoth. The keyboard was going (no e's in the morning), and I knew that replacement time was near, but the hard disk was behaving just fine.
( Uh huh. )
The moral of the story is: if you don't do regular backups, and there's a problem with your computer, and you're really, really lucky that your HDD is actually still spinning and not utterly corrupted or physically broken, AND you have another computer at hand, then for the low-Low-LOW price of only
$240
plust two trips to a computer store and three days of anxiety, you can say, "Backups? I don't need no stinkin' backups."
