What happens if your computer gets stolen?
My wife just recently had a friend get her computer stolen. You know what else is missing, all of her pictures. What a nightmare. Carbonite is a good service, I use it and like it. There compitiion is Mozy and I am looking forward to trying them next year. Carbonite is $55 for unlimited data per year.
Thanks to Leo Laporte for getting me to finally try Carbonite.

A review from a wonderful client
Ryan
Thank you so much for all the work you did on our computer this weekend. We truly appreciate all the extra you did for us. When my computer initially went out I asked all around for a referral to a good reliable computer person that would assist us we our computer problems. However no one really knew of anyone. I say all of this let you know that I will definitely tell others of the excellent service you provided and will refer others to you.
Thanks again....

Review from a recent customer
Thank you for making what at first looked like a nightmare become a minor technical blip in my life. When my laptop crashed, I saw three years of documents that I had created flash before my very eyes. I was particularly appreciative and impressed with the fact that you made several visits to my house and were always punctual. Though I hope I won't need to secure your services again, I now know who to call if I do!
