Well, it's under warranty, and has a 12 Gig HD.
As for backups... it's only a laptop. I've got all of the data
(somewhat) safe.
The annoying part is that this has happened in the past, with
previous factory reinstalls. Since I lose the same system files each
time, that may point to the HD.
As for the memory leaks, I'm stuck. That was only from the new
drive onward. Aside from keeping IE below 5.5, everything's up to date
from Windows Update.
Confused yet? :-)
