I'm often one to dish out the advice, but forget to act on it myself. Better get a move on before a blinking folder takes over my screen!<br><br>P.S.

You can back stuff up to your mobile me by the way. E-mail me - I can give you a quick tutorial on how to save everything so you don't die in the future.
