Had a couple of macro viruses, that's all.

Yow. I have lost two hard drives to fatal crashes. I did lose some very 
old data but I had back up almost everything else.

No, me neither.

Not many times, but a few.

Had so many bad cars that I cannot even begin to list them. Mainly due 
to not having enough money to buy a decent one and having no idea how 
to fix 'em. My last two cars have been okay though. In fact the present 
one (a Honda Pilot) is f****** amazing.

I would not only unsubscribe from the list but wear a helmet, carry 
garlic, and throw salt over your shoulder daily, because the wheel of 
fortune turns, and those who are at the top shall be at the bottom, and 
those at the bottom shall rise to the top...
