Jusy a note for those that store important information on their computers.
DO BACKUPS!!!
I am currently rebuilding my Dads computer because of a hard drive failure. All data lost except what was on his backup. He did not backup some important data so I'm in the process of data recovery. If he had to pay for this, it would cost thousands of dollars. To give you an idea, I'm about half way through and the cost so far would be $2500.00. I'd expect $4-5,000 for the total process.
If you need help with backup stategies or systems, let me know. I'm setting him up with an automated system on a 4 Gig RAM USB micro drive.
A little money up front will save you a ton later.
Hope this helps.
