Retrospect rocks.
The only problem with it is that it works so well that I've managed to raise 
4 children to college age without any of them ever losing a file on their 
computers, because the backups were so seamless and the recovery so fast 
that they never noticed. This means that they are entering adulthoood with 
the belief that computer file systems are reliable, which is extremely 
dangerous.

I think if I had it to do over again I'd have them lose some files along the 
way just so that they could have the learning experience and understand what 
it means. "What do you mean, 'gone.' ?"
