Would you save your computer during a fire?

I'd be yelling to the firemen below "Catch my computer!" :)


What can I do to protect my PC from a house fire?

D,

I'd more likely save my Commodore Amiga 500 before I'd grab my main PC
that I use. Most hardware is cheap and easily replaceable. Heck the
insurance money is worth more than the PC.

As far as data goes, I use http://www.mozy.com and backup everything
remotely important there. So all my data is stored there, including
most of my pictures. Unlimited backup storage for $5/month. Also works
as poor man's revision control too.

I might grab my backup dvd case, too.

I'd probably grab my pool cues too.

(and wife and new baby, I guess) :)

Huh... only 5 bucks a month for unlimited storage.
Do you encrypt before upload?
