Yikes. You have my sympathies. I've had my laptop's internal hard drive dying on me twice in the last ten months alone, so I've learned my lesson on regular backups, esp. while the last 10 months were also spent (1) working on my thesis, (2) getting into the SV fandom, and (3) compelled by #2 to cave in and compulsively download/watch vids.

Will watch them later, but thanks for the recs! I usually stick to SV vids only, but I just might expand my horizons. :D
