	Not unsolicited! And I'm glad to have it.

	We have a couple of external USB hard drives, and one at least 
has a partition backing up her specific machine. I'll try to think up a 
good name (or get her to!) and see if I can change that partition to 
that. 

	The problem will be persuading her to take any interest beyond 
knowing that *I* have some backup for her, somewhere ... (I always do one 
before an upgrade -- and upgrade her machine last, in order to have seen 
most common problems before I get to it.) Any experience with that one?

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
