I'm as much in favor of Christmas traditions as anyone; but I'm really hoping that this isn't becoming one of them.
For the second year in a row, I've managed to kill my computer. Well, not literally, but I had to reinstall Windows, which accomplished much the same result. I was able this time to salvage most of my pictures and videos, and all of my music, so my sunday vanity project should resume shortly (yay!).
But there's a lot to rebuild, so I'll mainly be occupied with that for the foreseeable future. I'll also be looking into offsite data backup -- if anyone has a recommendation for one of the commercial sites, I'd be interested in hearing about it.

Buy a Mac. I haven't had to reinstall OS X... well... ever. And I used to have to rebuild my Windows boxes regularly. Ditching all things Microsoft was the best thing I ever did.

I agree - get a Mac, I have, and I've no problems with it or with compatibility since I installed Office for Mac...
And I useDropbox as an offsite backup and access for when I'm away from the study and need to access something on the Macbook.
