Best Laptop Solution Ever

Buy a series of external drives. A 200 GB portable drive and some USB storage devices. Work off the drives. Save the files you create on the external devices always. Keep the software on the computer. In fact, put all the software you want on your machine -- and then back that drive up every month on another drive and leave that one at home.IF If your laptop is stolen or broken - God forbid, all you have to do is buy a new machine and copy the software back onto your new machine! Voila! Eat your heart out Murphy's Law.
