Ya i feel the same, thats something i sure as heck don't want to go through
again. I blame myself for not backing up stuff before hands but i lost of lot
of good coding assignments i did in school which were great references for
stuff.  I'm still pissed when i think about it now.  i have some stuff backed
up but i know i missed a lot of things in my advances data structure classes
with path find and stuff..  grrrr..
